Not sure why backports kernel wouldn't work in your case. But to remain on a specific kernel version you could try this,
create a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d - you could call it pin-kernel or something
The contents would be:

Package: linux-image-amd64
Pin: version 6.1.137-1
Pin-Priority: 1001

You didn't mention architecture, so I'm assuming amd64. After creating that file, run `apt update`. I haven't actually used this with a kernel so not 100% sure on it. Keep an eye out for later kernel updates, once there's one past 6.1.0-37, you may want to try it out. To do so, remove the pin-kernel file and run `apt update` again. (or apt-get, or whatever you use to upgrade).

I just tested pm-hibernate in excalibur and it works. Kernel is 6.12.27.
Check /etc/initramfs/conf.d/resume to make sure it didn't change and also that the uuid on the swap didn't change. (assuming resume uses the uuid)

Check /var/log/syslog for errors. I got something like "couldn't find swap" before I did a few things to make my new swap partition work. (I had to make a resume file, edit fstab, run update-initramfs -u, and reboot.)

I had this same problem when I went from Chimera to Daedalus, but with Suspend rather than Hibernate. I don't know what the latter kernel version was but it would have been recent. For reasons, I then installed PeppermintOS (2023 version - the latest) which is (optionally) a Devuan derivative, with xfce, and Suspend works fine on it from the desktop icon. I have never tried Hibernate.

Your post prompted me to check my kernel version and it is also 6.1.0-37-amd64, so it is a mystery.

I'm running Daedulus. I recently got an automated update from linux-image and linux-headers 6.1.0-35 to 6.1.0-37, however this breaks hibernate, or more accurately thaw as the machine hibernates seemingly successfully but doesn't thaw properly - I see the disk light flashing intermittently but it never achieves a thawed image, it's just blank. Stopping and restarting using the power button works but doesn't get me back the hibernated image.

Removing the 6-1.0-37 linux-image (and headers) reverts me back to 6.1.0-35 and hibernate works once again.

Attempting to jump over the issue by installing the latest backport kernel fails due to unmet dependencies.

So for now I've also put a hold on to stop 6-1.0-37 re-installing itself.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or have a solution?

Or maybe I just need to wait for Excalibur and see if that solves the problem.
