Hibernation worked perfectly fine in 11.04. Ever since I upgraded to 11.10, my laptop (Acer Aspire) keeps crashing when it's hibernating. I have no clue why. Any ideas?

At first it seemed to only happen between 6a-noon (US Eastern time), but this morning it happened earlier.

(PS. I checked /var/log/syslog but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I thought something might jump out at me as an obvious error in hibernating or coming out of it, but nothing seemed unusual. I'm a bit of a newbie in this area so I might be missing something in lines upon lines upon lines.)

I am a beginner for ubuntu itself and I don't know whether I am right, but it looks like that there might be a compatibility issue with a hardware or a setting in your bios. I would recommend to check your bios settings and make sure that you have your ACPI settings (I don't know how to do it yet in Ubuntu, but I'll update my post on the moment I discover). A simple device on your usb port or a new driver on one of the peripherals can cause this. If you have hardware that needs proprietary drivers, you might need to update them too. Also, check the ACPI settings and set it to S3.

Maybe this can help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-suspend-and-hibernation-problem-for-laptops.html

Also, it might be a little bit useful for the more experts if you provide your hardware and software information. Also, state your bios type (Phoenix or American trends or xEFI).
