I'll hazard a wild guess, and predict that the problem is an unresolved 
symbol while loading the module, because we need to call refrigerator() but 
software-suspend-2.1.9.5 marks that symbol GPL-only.  I reported this 
problem some time ago, and the swsusp2 people fixed the problem in the 
source, but I do not believe 2.1.9.5 is new enough to have that fix.

If this is indeed the problem, you will need to modify the swsusp patch (or 
the patched kernel) to change EXPORT_GPL(refrigerator) back to 
EXPORT(refrigerator).
