This is a fresh install of Fedora 16 on a new laptop with 8GB memory. 
When I attempt to hibernate from the Session Menu I get a popup with 
the message:

Failed to hibernate session
Not enough swap space.

Here's the disk layout:

(parted) print                                                          
 
Model: ATA WDC WD7500BPKT-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 750GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags

 9      473GB   484GB   10.5GB  logical   ext4
10      484GB   493GB   9437MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)
11      493GB   493GB   1049kB  logical   ext2
12      493GB   750GB   257GB   logical   ext4

As you can see, I've allocated 9GB for swap.

Any suggestions?
