I'd like to try the above new 2.6.25 kernel work-around, but after you create the above /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list file, how exactly do you install linux-image-2.6.25-1-generic and linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.25-1-generic from kernel-ppa? It would be great to get more detailed installation instructions.

Also, would the process add a new line to the GRUB menu to boot with the new 2.6.25 kernel, or would I need to edit that manually, and if so -- how?

Background: I have a very similar-sounding issue with my Dell Dimension 4700 (BIOS Rev. A10) desktop. Gutsy used to Suspend and Hibernate (though it sometimes "lost" the Atheros-based wireless card after Resume from Hibernate, it was fully OK after Resume from Suspend -- it "just worked"). We used Suspend a lot to save energy when the computer was not needed (we shut it down fully at night.) After upgrading to Hardy, the system freezes upon Resume from either Suspend or Hibernate, no matter which existing kernel version I select in GRUB.

Thanks in advance for your help.
