The code is in /usr/lib/powersave/scripts/prepare_suspend_to_disk, after
line 64 (0.12.15, but not much has changed here lately IIRC).
This code part might be quite SUSE specific - the kernel file in /boot
has to be named "/boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`", so if your kernel is named
2.6.16-ARCH, then it has to be named "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-ARCH". If it
has a different filename, the test will fail.

You can skip this sanity check by setting BOOT_LOADER="other" in 
/etc/powersave/common.
