can't wake up from hibernate

[dantose]

ok, so told my netbook to hibernate, left it for a day or so, and when i tried to start it back up I get a message about the USB failing to communicate with the device on port one (nothing plugged in) and then a blinking cursor of frozen doom under that. I looked up the error message and found that its a common issue in Ubuntu and saw nothing about it breaking bootup so I don''t think it has anything to do with it. Now, is there a way to kill a hibernated session from a livecd (what I[m running as I type this)? I'm thinking that would get it booting again. Also, if this is a broken hibernate function any ideas on what could be wrong?

just tried to use the live cd to boot from first hard drive. I get an error message that flashes too fast to read then it returns to the live CD boot screen.

I've got the same problem with my Dell Inspiron. When I Hibernate it, then I press the power button when I'm ready to resume, and it goes to what appears to be the normal boot up screen and says, "Waking up from hibernate," at the bottom of the screen, but then the screen just goes black. I have to hold the power button down for 5 seconds to kill the machine in order to reboot, and then it's fine.

well we've got some new messages.

The text of the old messages was as follows:

[4.xxxxxx] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 2 error -71
[4.yyyyyy] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

We now also have:
[11.05xxxx] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] assuming drive cache: write through
[11.05yyyy] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] assuming drive cache: write through

That is followed by a blinking cursor.
