Hi,

I have been running a SuSE 9.1 on a HP TC1100 tablet PC. I configured
ACPI suspend-to-disk and used it heavily. When I switched on the
computer after a suspend, the normal GRUB boot menu was displayed and I
was able to select the kernel. When selecting the previous kernel with
resume option all went well.

The fine thing was: I have dual boot Linux and Windows installed and
after suspending Linux I could boot windows, suspend that as well and
then switch between the suspended systems freely.

Now I upgraded to SuSE 9.3, and the behavior changed: When switching on
the computer after a suspend, the GRUB menu is not displayed any more,
it immediately resumes the suspended Linux. I think, this is meant to be
an improvement, however, I don't like it and want to disable it 8^).

The log in /var/log/suspend2disk.log says, it is "preparing boot-loader:
selecting entry 0". It seems that it modifies or replaces the GRUB menu.

Has anybody an idea where this behavior can be customed / inhibited?

Every help is appreciated.
