Booting got stuck on fsck which gave me a heart attack. I recovered with a Knoppix CD.
Which filesystem are you using? I haven't lost a filesystem due to a power outage in well over a decade. Now, kernel panics that scribble dirty buffers all over the disk randomly will still do it :-)
Why can't Linux always survive power outages? I would think this is common. I can't imagine everyone would know to use Knoppix.
I think you're doing something unusual here. Do you at least 'sync' before suspend?
I've seen Windows machines that get abused and improperly shutdown all the time. They always seem to recover.
