Switching to console before doing the suspend is advisable.
The pm-hibernate script from pmutils will do this automatically.
It does not make a difference in my case.
If you boot with something like vga=791 you'll fit more lines
on the screen, so you should be able to capture it all.
Surprisingly, this /does/ make a difference. In both cases (well, six -
tried it at runlevels 3 (no RHGB, so the ATI proprietary driver never
was loaded), 5 (switched to console) and 5 (graphical), the computer
never turned itself off, but without vga=791 I get more error messages.

Wonder what it could be. Note that I always have to pass the option
'no_timer_check' to the kernel, otherwise > 50% CPU is gobbled by
hardware and software interrupts and the clock runs super-fast (and
processes super-slow)
