It's only fun if you have the luxury of time to track down the problem
and can fix it.  If you don't have time or can't fix it then it's called
frustration.  The latest kernel (2.6.24.3-12.fc8) broke hibernate on my
Dell XPS 1710 laptop.  It'll do everything except actually turn off the
computer.  With the previous kernel (2.6.23.15-137.fc8, which I had to
go back to) and the exact same setup it all works great.
