It's a desktop with an asrock dual sata motherboard and and AMD X2 cpu. 
It's a DIY machine, not a name brand.

For what it's worth, hibernation on the Ubuntu distribution 'Feisty 
Fawn" worked. I have tried three Debian kernels, one older than the 
Ubuntu Kernel, and two more recent.

I notice that in fact the keyboard does not work as soon as the "thaw" 
begins. I can not enter BIOS setup, and I can not select entries from 
the Grub menu. Of course, I get different behaviour from a reboot.
I conclude that something is not being handled properly as the machine 
goes into hibernation. The keyboard already does not work for bios or 
for grub: the thaw features have not even executed at this stage so I 
guess (logically) the something about the USB hardware is not being 
prepared properly at power-off.   Important question:  is this mailing 
list the correct forum? If I need to file a kernel bug report, could 
someone volunteer to be a "mentor" (not via the mailing list) because I 
imagine there are people reading this who have filed such bug reports in 
a very effective manner.
