After reading the thread on auto hibernation I selected suspend from the kde3 log out menu. It had never worked in the past but this time unfortunatly it did. My machine went through the shutdown process and after pressing the power button proceeded to restart, finished the part where it loads the saved suspend data and locked up just before the mouse would have been recognized. The nightmare part came when repeated attempts from rescue disk to kexec back to my system also failed. Eventually I booted with acpi=off and noresume successfuly my failsafe section on the boot menu is identical to my normal section for some reason as well. Is this a known bug, if it is the suspend section needs to be removed from kde3 shutdown menu.
