Oh, really?  In my Debian laptop with nilfs2, both the suspend-to-ram
and hibernation are well-functioning. (lenny 2.6.26-1-686 in my case)

Debugging STR problem is usually hard.
I don't know the magic bullet for it.

If you can change the screen to an active console using
Ctrl-Alt-F[1-7] (in case of Debian) during the lockup, you may
identify the process and function causing the problem:

e.g.
 # echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger 
 # dmesg | less

If the problem is reproducible, separating conditions seems effective;
for example, whether the problem is reproducible or not in the
following condition:

 - In case not applying nilfs2 to the root directory.
 - without X environment.
 - without the cleaner daemon. (i.e. STRs after killing the cleanerd)
 - without writable mount (i.e. STRs without remount r/w)

Any ideas?

Regards,
Ryusuke
