[solved] powersaved does not resume after suspend to disk

Question

Hello,
I've just changed over Arch Linux and this is the first time i'm using the distro, migrating from slackware. Anytime I do a powersave -U through the CLI, my notebook shuts down and swsusp writes to my swap but on resuming the notebook boots back like it would normally with an invalid swap signature. Not sure why it doesn't read the swap signature on coming back up. Here's the conents of my menu.lst file from grub:
# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/menu.lst
# DEVICE NAME CONVERSIONS
# Linux Grub
# /dev/fd0 (fd0)
# /dev/hda (hd0)
# /dev/hdb2 (hd1,1)
# /dev/hda3 (hd0,2)
# FRAMEBUFFER RESOLUTION SETTINGS
# +-------------------------------------------------+
# | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
# ----+--------------------------------------------
# 256 | 0x301=769 0x303=771 0x305=773 0x307=775
# 32K | 0x310=784 0x313=787 0x316=790 0x319=793
# 64K | 0x311=785 0x314=788 0x317=791 0x31A=794
# 16M | 0x312=786 0x315=789 0x318=792 0x31B=795
# +-------------------------------------------------+
# general configuration:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
# boot sections follow
# each is implicitly numbered from 0 in the order of appearance below
# TIP: If you want a 1024x768 framebuffer, add "vga=773" to your kernel line.
title Arch Linux
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 resume=/dev/hda2 vga=791 ro
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd26.img
Honestly i'm stumped and any help on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Answer 1

Figured it out. The problem was with hooks.
So I edited, the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file, added resume to the HOOKS="" section and then ran mkinitcpio -g /boot/vmlinuz26-rev.img
That created the initrd image and i replaced the existing image in grub with the newly created one.
