The same on Dell Optiplex 910, BIOS A04 Mac OS X 10.6.2 NetBookInstaller 0.8.2 
final.
It says "Hibernate Image file too old by xxx seconds." and something about 
"ForceWakeUp=y", but because of 
quiet boot I can't seem to enter it.

Oh well. Just wanted to add this: this defect is to be found on every 
non-Macintosh running Mac OS X.
I don't exactly know how it works, but my guess is that Macintoshes update 
their system clock AFTER "Preboot", caused by the second stage bootcode. PCs 
update their system clock immediately when turned on, caused by the low-level 
bootcode.
So when resuming a hibernation-image, its timestamp on a Macintosh is exactly 
the same as the system clock, and on a non-Macintosh its timestamp would differ 
too much to the system clock.

I think I'll try the "ForceWakeUp"-flag within an hour, if results are positive 
I'll write a quick guide on how to auto-resume it (so you don't have to enter 
the flag by hand).

This issue is resolved by adding an entry to /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist in the 
<dict> section as follows:

<key>WakeImage</key>
<string>/var/vm/sleepimage</string>

This file cannot be modified unless the permissions are updated to allow, which 
I would recommend doing temporarily and then changing back after.

<key>WakeImage</key>
<string>/var/vm/sleepimage</string>

Changing this in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist in the <dict> section worked for 
me on my 1005hab with 10.6.5 on it

Thanks!
