Suspend, Hibernate and Resume are great features in modern mobile computing. So, it's good to have them in your Operating System, be it Linux or OS X or Windows. However, these features require more resources in terms of physical/swap memory. And some people don't like it.
On user-level you can disable it by removing the userspace Suspend/Hibernate packages. But sometimes removing those packages don't do the job completely. You may still get an error message like the two lines I got during my Debian Lenny boot process:
kinit: Trying to resume from /dev/sda5
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot
I had removed suspend/hibernate packages quite earlier. Wondered why that message came till I knew it's a kernel feature these days. So, to disable resume, you have to tell the kernel not to seek for it. Just add noresume in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst file. See the example:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet noresume
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
After adding noresume to the kernel line you will get rid of that "No resume...." error message, and may be, save a few seconds of boot time.
