It's the Eee system itself, which disconnects the SD card slot when it suspends, causing all sorts of trouble with the encrypted ZFS system that's on the card. It's not really a big deal though. I set up a script that handles connecting and disconnecting the card, all I have to do is click on the icon for it before I tell the system to sleep and everything is fine.

Perhaps LUKS would be more suitable...I don't know if it supports hibernation but I'd be surprised if it didn't. McPop. TrueCrypt?
