You are using Kmail, but somehow threading info was missing from your email: the "in-reply-to" header is not present. Because of that, I did not notice your answer till this moment, by the purest chance.
Sorry When in Windows XP I retrieved some of the suse-linux-e mail and used Outlook Express i.s.o Kmail - perhaps that's how the threading info was missing.
Did you mean I should enter "resume=/dev/sda6" in /etc/grub.conf
No, in "/boot/grub/menu.lst", where the kernel command line is, assuming you use grub (the default in SuSE). You can do it using Yast (boot loader config) or manually, it doesn't matter. You will have something like this there:
###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 9.3 kernel (hd1,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb6 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=verbose resume=/dev/hda9 showopts initrd (hd1,1)/initrd
you only need to add the "resume=..." token there - and no need to run SuSEconfig later, it doesn't apply.
Of course, use your right swap partition instead of the "..." dots.

1) Done that now 2) Also changed one line in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common # Line below was BOOT_LOADER="" BOOT_LOADER="GRUB"

On Friday Peter Vollebregt wrote You have to enter it in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the end of the 'kernel" l ine. What i often do is to replace the 'showopts' option to the front of this line (after /vmlinuz). Then the options after 'showopts' will be visible when booting.
Done that also thanks at the same time in step 1) above 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" 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 /var/log/suspend2disk.log suspend2disk initiated: 2005-10-30 20:55:15 Loaded modules: Module Size Used by ipt_pkttype 5632 1 ipt_LOG 11392 7 ipt_limit 6528 7 speedstep_lib 8452 0 freq_table 8832 0 snd_pcm_oss 67616 0 snd_mixer_oss 24704 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 62864 0 snd_seq_device 13068 1 snd_seq button 11024 0 battery 14212 0 ac 9220 0 nvidia 3704300 12 rfcomm 48536 0 hidp 24320 2 usb_storage 81344 0 l2cap 35328 10 rfcomm,hidp ati_remote 15880 0 lirc_atiusb 22048 0 lirc_dev 18548 1 lirc_atiusb hci_usb 19592 2 bluetooth 57988 8 rfcomm,hidp,l2cap,hci_usb af_packet 31368 2 usblp 17024 0 usbhid 50656 0 edd 14560 0 tda9887 17424 0 tuner 40744 0 saa7134 118996 0 video_buf 26116 1 saa7134 via_rhine 28548 0 v4l2_common 9856 1 saa7134 ohci1394 39348 0 ieee1394 107960 1 ohci1394 v4l1_compat 17796 1 saa7134 mii 9600 1 via_rhine ir_common 12164 1 saa7134 i2c_i801 12812 0 i2c_core 25344 4 tda9887,tuner,saa7134,i2c_i801 videodev 13440 1 saa7134 generic 8452 0 [permanent] ehci_hcd 38920 0 snd_hda_intel 23296 1 snd_hda_codec 95872 1 snd_hda_intel intel_agp 26652 1 agpgart 38476 2 nvidia,intel_agp uhci_hcd 39440 0 usbcore 126848 9 usb_storage,ati_remote,lirc_atiusb,hci_usb,usblp,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd shpchp 100228 0 pci_hotplug 32188 1 shpchp
