    If /dev/hda6 is the swap partition, I've seen the same or similar
    message when resume is looking for the suspended stuff on the swap
    partition, but not the exit. It seems it's changed in 2.6.13-git10.
    dmesg says (reboot with no suspend data in swap) ---
    Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 selinux=1 splash=silent
    resume=/dev/hda2 3
    swsusp: Error -22 check for resume file
    Attempting manual resume
    swsusp: Error -22 check for resume file

    "make oldconfig" or make config/menuconfig/xconfig was done? I normally
    do "make oldconfig" so it picks up the old stuff and prompts for
    anything new that may be needed - happens, then "make && make
    modules_install", "make" builds both bzImage and the modules. The SuSE
    udev is not the latest and some modules will don't get loaded as
    expected, but these can either be built-in or put in
    /etc/sysconfig/kernel to be loaded at boot. I build in most of the
    hardware that's a must, network, mouse, etc., SuSE has to cater for all
    types of hardware, so I prune my config to suit the hardware I have.
