Seems to be geeting close - to my surprise following a reboot after steps 1) and 2) above I actually managed subsequent <Suspend> and <Resume> (sort of). Makes no difference whether I use the command line "# powersave -U" or the Logout-->Suspend menu. (the console method shows no error messages and goes very fast into <Suspend>) but the following sequence repeats every time on <Resume>
1) the PC on/off button is pressed. 2) Select <SuSE Linux> on BootItNG boot menu 3) Messages flash by so rapidly that its difficult to keep track, but they do show that swap is actually being read. 4) "Warning: Device not power manageable appears"
Turns out on reading /var/log/messages that the warning "Device not power manageable" occurs even during a normal boot-up, and refers to some other device, not the Monitor. quote "Oct 30 21:07:44 linux kernel: shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4 Oct 30 21:07:44 linux kernel: ACPI-0212: *** Warning: Device is not power manageable" unquote
5) Monitor power goes off 6) PC hard disk turns off but 'Power on' blue light remains on 7) Switch power off and on again 8) More messages flash by and normal desktop appears
But... the suspended desktop, or a newly booted system?
Newly booted system. (Checked by leaving Patience card game on desktop and then suspending) - card game was gone on resume. Never ever had a case where monitor and hard disk are turned off by an Operating System during booting ! Wonder which executable file triggers this event.
/var/log/suspend2disk.log
You can increase verbosity of this log, it looks incomplete to me. Or perhaps it is not fully written till restore, and restore is failing.
Also, some messages go to the kernel log, usually /var/log/messages
