Drat!  That fixes the boot messages but not the actual hibernate problem 
which remains as before:

[jguerdat at toshiba ~]$ sudo hibernate
hibernate: WARNING: Filewriter location given, but kernel does not have 
filewriter
hibernate: support. Ignoring.
Your kernel does not appear to have Software Suspend 2 support compiled in.
Please follow the HOWTO linked from http://www.suspend2.net/ for 
instructions
on how to compile Software Suspend into your kernel.
hibernate: Aborting.

For some reason, this particular kernel update is not as before where I 
would install the kernel from Matthias and the modules from ATrpms.  If 
I install the modules, they pull the kernel from ATrpms which is the one 
that won't hibernate.  I note that Matthias' kernels are named "rhfc5" 
where Axel's are named "fc5" so I can't easily swap one for the other.

I can easily wait for the next kernel/module release if this is just one 
of those things that sometimes happens...
