Garrett:
I like the optimization, and in fact it is my original design.
The reason I abandon the design later is that make fast-resume depends on 
system.map file. If the file does not exist, or be damaged, fast-resume can not 
work. 

I have tried it at my machine and find that it can not work; I will look into 
it clearly tomorrow.

Subject: Grub fast resume

Hi there,

I've made a few changes to the grub fast resume patch and would 
appreciate some testing. The first major change is to remove the need 
for the symbols file - instead, the kernel version is obtained directly 
from the kernel header and the symbols are read from System.map. This 
means we don't need the app for generating the symbols file. Secondly, 
I've removed the dependency on a splash file - if one isn't specified, 
then it won't attempt to open a default.

The order for resuming is now:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-whatever
resume_partition (hd0,2)
resume_symbols /boot/System.map-whatever
resume

The source is at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/grub/ - if someone 
could test this and make sure it works for them, I'll get it uploaded. 
Note that the fast resume code is only enabled on lpia builds in order 
to avoid risking fragility on x86.
