And the copy > routine Well, if you have just one common bootloader on ppc, no problem, go ahead at load it from bootloader. You'll not have to worry about page tables etc. I could not do that on i386 because there are many bootloaders in use here. You are going to have completely different resume phase, through. [And if someone wants suspend-to-disk on ppc, *now*, it might still be easiest to write those two screens of assembly to port swsusp to ppc.] Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
