There seems to be a problem with certain kernels, I haven't upgraded yet 
to F11, but on CentOS 5.4pre, there are also some problems with the 
newest kernel, try a different kernel (older or even newer) and do as 
Tim suggested add resume=<your swap location or partition> in 
/boot/grub/grub.conf at the end of the kernel line, however this is not 
a requirement
