Or point resume2 to a valid image. if you use the swapwriter then
"resume2=swap:/dev/yourswappartition". If you use a swap file then its a bit
different. I can't really remember. Something like
"resume2=file:0xdeadbeef" or something. The location of the file on your harddrive, not in the filesystem. I did it once but it was much slower
than suspending to the swap partition. But its pretty well documented at
the suspend2 howto:
