The "rpm -e -nodeps suspend-scripts" didn't work, so it became obvious that it 
was a kernel problem, so I thought I'd upgrade to the latest kernel, and see 
what happens, but as I was doing that I noticed something odd in lilo.conf :

append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"

First off I really don't know what acpi=ht means.
What is ht ??
So I changed it to "on"
But wait!!!!! Look right next to that and you'll see the "causer of all pain"
"resume=/dev/hda5"
But /dev/hda5 is my bloody swap partition!!!!
After removing the resume=/dev/hda5, it works fine now!

Thanks alot guys for being so patient.
I should have sent the append line from the start!
