I was heading out earlier today, and ran "sudo /usr/sbin/hibernate".
There was occasional thunder, and I did't want my UPS to run out if
power got knocked out while I was away.  Now for the LILO/GRUB
differences on reboot...

* LILO would automatically reboot to the kernel that it had been running
  at hibernation time.  I wouldn't see the LILO menu at all.

* GRUB, on the other hand, brings up the regular boot menu from
  hibernation, with default being the default.

  If the running kernel at hibernation is different enough from the
kernel selected at bootup, I can imagine situations where "that does
not end well".  Is there any way to get GRUB to "remember" the previous
kernel or menu selection it was running under, and automatically select
it, when rebooting?  Note that I'm using a manually edited grub.cfg.
