Have you tried booting normally, or resetting the machine as it was trying to boot up, (thus abandoning the suspended session)?
It could be that there simply isn't enough swap available to suspend to disk. I believe (I could be wrong) that suspend to disk tries to write to swap).
Thank you for your reply, John. I'm actually running the system for work right now (the 'other OS'.) I still have a few hours before I can try anything. My first instincts are to boot the install DVD to rescue mode and manually check the partitions; to also see if there's anything interesting in the logs. Not being intimately familiar with the hibernation process, I thought it'd be a good idea to check here, first, before I unintentionally make things worse tonight. :-)
I guess I was worried for nothing. As you surmised, John, the system was set to boot directly into 12.3, bypassing grub2. I'd saved all my work, so the only 'complaints' ... if you could call them that ... were Claws Mail scanning it's folders immediately upon being launched (all fine) and Firefox offering to re-open the tabs and windows I'd left open. I /did/ boot first to a Live USB stick (also openSUSE 12.3) to check the partitions, which were clean, and to copy off the relevant logs for later study. I'll probably just avoid hibernating again until I find out exactly what happened ... which is a real shame because it cut my shutdown->reboot time to a couple of minutes vs. a quarter to half an hour each direction. One more thing ... the system has 4 GB RAM and a 4401 MB swap partition. Could it be there isn't enough margin for overhead or something?
