Some clarification on Hibernate needed

ok, so I did a stupid and only put the resume offset value at /sys/power/resume_offset, not at grub, so thats why its not working.
On the bright side, I was right when I said that I did one of the steps wrong, so some small victories

Please excuse me for interfering here without being asked. But according to the manual β€œPartitions needed for Linux” by Robert Goedl, hibernation only works with a swap partition.

Of course, a SWAP file can be used on halfway modern Linux distributions […] – but here you should [not] forget – without a SWAP partition no Hibernation (Suspend to Disk) works, even with a SWAP file such does not work.

Not true.
The OP now is just missing the entry for the file offset of the swap partition he wants to use to hibernate.
How to find it was explained above,

Thank you for your help, it worked
