Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your
''/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/01grub'' file please. I modified mine as
part of trying to fix the problem and now I am not sure if the problem
was there by default or caused by something I changed. :p

I have a separate /boot partition. So /etc/grub.conf has entries
relative to this partition. However, the 01grub file above passes the
entries as /boot/xxxx to /sbin/grubby so it can set things up before
hibernating. And /sbin/grubby obviously can't find those entries
in /etc/grub.conf (because it searches for /boot/xxxx) and hence fails. 

Regards.
