While looking into this, I found a reproducible kernel panic:

1. boot with init=/bin/bash
2. mount /usr; swapon -a
3. plug in a USB pendrive
4. s2disk (machine goes to sleep)
5. power on, proceed with resuming, press Enter to cancel resume pause
6. ACPI: Hardware changed while hibernated, cannot resume!
Kernel panic - not syncing: ACPI S4 hardware signature mismatch

Does it make sense?
