The sleep error has been reported and is widely known. It was fixed in

memory leaks in addition to numerous bugs that will be fixed in 2.6.17.8.
I am restless myself for this new kernel, but I'm just gonna have to
patiently wait...
I have also been having problems with the FC5 2.6.17 kernels. suspend-to-disk
sleep (s4) goes to sleep ok, but on resuming the kernel hangs at
the "resuming from /dev/hda9" message. Nothing I can do but hard reset.
suspend to memory, S3 seems OK. Both worked fine wit the 2.6.16 kernels.
Could this be related to your problem, and also fixed in 2.6.17.8 ?
Yep, and yes, memory leakage is bad in this kernel. It is mostly fixed in
2.6.17.7, but I think there's more coming in 2.6.17.8 that they want to
wait for.
