Hibernate issues on FC5T2...

Hello list,

I've played around a bit with FC5T2, and I found that the hibernate
sort-of worked.  On my first attempt it wouldn't un-hibernate.  At some
point (after a reinstall) it worked fine.  Since then, I have performed
all the updates using yum (I have updated everything as of 5 minutes
ago), and I've started using KDE for my desktop.  However, when I try to
hibernate now, I get a blank screen, which eventually prints errors
indicating some problem accessing the fd0 device.  I don't have a floppy
disk on my laptop, so the fact that it can't access it is no surprise.
If I wait long enough, I'm returned to the desktop with the following
output:

sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate


    GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
   completions of a device/filename.]
grub> savedefault --default=0 --once
grub> /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate: line 24: echo: write error: No such device


Would this be related to any of the updates, and/or my switch to KDE?  I
tried a bit of hacking around with the pm-hibernate script, that
certainly didn't improve anything.  Any suggestions?

Mike
