Leon,
Thanks for the tip - I'm thinking it would be kind of nice if the grub
hook could be excluded as a commandline option when running the
pm-hibernate executable (kind of like how yum allows you to
enable/disable individual repos). Oh well...this workaround will do the
trick for me.
And yes - hibernate is working fine for me as far as I can tell. But I
have only been running FC6T2 for about two weeks now. Whatever is
breaking hibernate for you Leon either occurred with earlier updates
that I didn't get, or some other problem I could only guess at.
Regards,
Mike

Yes, it's an intentional feature. I asked this a month ago and was
told
what's "best" for me:

In fairness, this is done because if you upgrade your kernel and
hibernate, GRUB will use the new kernel by default which would almost
certainly fail to start post-hibernate, thus losing any unsaved work.
So, with the caveat that you should not hibernate after a kernel update:

Is hibernate working for you with the latest packages? It stopped
working for me about four weeks ago...
