Can't hibernate after reinstall

Question

I had to reinstall Arch on my Dell Inspirion 1525 a week back because I hosed the system :( 
After the reinstall I can suspend and resume but can't resume after a hibernate. I didnt have any issues before the reinstall when I used init. I already added update my grub config and added the resume hook and ran " mkinitcpio -p linux"
[root@choma-laptop vikram]# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep resume
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=28762a09-cddd-4dcf-8539-006b7578a0ff ro resume=/dev/sda5 quiet
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=28762a09-cddd-4dcf-8539-006b7578a0ff ro resume=/dev/sda5 quiet
[root@choma-laptop vikram]# cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf | grep resume
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems"
[root@choma-laptop log]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda5 partition 3903756 0 -1
I can see two log files pm-powersave.log and pm-suspend.log in /var/log if it helps -
[root@choma-laptop log]# tail -n 20 pm-*

I dont see a resume log at all. Do I need to do anything else to get this to work ?

Is there a reason you are using pm-utils?  What happens when you use systemd's hibernation?
BTW, I don't think pm-utils is active anymore, and the powersave and other scripts are a bit outdated and typically unnecessary.
I get the same result when I type systemctl hibernate. It hibernates as expected and then doesnt resume. Instead i get fsck of allthe drives because the system wasnt shut down properly
