Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
on disk won't match with saved ones.

-config PM_DISK
- bool "Suspend-to-Disk Support"
- depends on PM && SWAP && X86 && !X86_64
- ---help---
- Suspend-to-disk is a power management state in which the contents
- of memory are stored on disk and the entire system is shut down or
- put into a low-power state (e.g. ACPI S4). When the computer is
- turned back on, the stored image is loaded from disk and execution
- resumes from where it left off before suspending.
-
- This config option enables the core infrastructure necessary to
- perform the suspend and resume transition.
-
- Currently, this suspend-to-disk implementation is based on a forked
- version of the swsusp code base. As such, it's still experimental,
- and still relies on CONFIG_SWAP.
+ For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
- More information can be found in Documentation/power/.

+ The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
- pmdisk=/dev/<other device>
+ resume=/dev/<other device>
which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
- One may also do:
-
- pmdisk=off
-
- to inform the kernel not to perform a resume transition.
-
Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
device.
