Hi all.
If you're using a 2.4 kernel and haven't tried software suspend, or
haven't tried it in a while, would you please consider giving it a try?
The patches can be found on sourceforge.net/projects/swsusp. You'll want
to download beta19 and then add the patches from the devel section
beta19-0[1-8]. All feedback is welcome on the swsusp list. You'll find a
link to it by going to the homepage from there.
This is the code I'm currently completing a port of to 2.5, so I'll
shortly (DV) be after testers for the 2.5 version too.
Regards,
Nigel

Hi.
Thanks for your work!
I just manged to suspend and resume a freshly booted 2.4.20 + "your
latest patch" system ;-)
I had to read the kernel source a hour to do so, because I use devfs
and naively used resume=/dev/ide/host0/.... which obiously does not
work.
For now you might add to the docs that devfs users simply have to use
the corresponding old /dev/hdX name. If I have too much time I'll take
a look to make swsuspend devfs aware. But this might not be that soon
:-(
I'll report after more testing.

Is root= devfs aware? If yes fix swsusp
else fix docs.

Written on sharp zaurus, because my Velo1 broke. If you have Velo you don't need...
Hi.
root= "seems" to be devfs aware. It always simply worked.
I read the source when I have time (which might be in some days).
