Built into any 2.6 kernel is swsusp. It can suspend by shutting down
all but the RAM, or it can suspend to file. I always found this swsusp
to be buggy and it tended to lose all my bloody work at some random
point between 10-15 suspend/resume operations. <br>
<br>
As of kernel 2.6.17 I think, it is supposed to be better... but I still
dont trust it.<br>
<br>
The only 100% reliable suspend/resume is Suspend2... which for some
reason was never incorporated into the kernel, so you still need a
patch. It uses the swap partition to save the RAM into, and you can
encrypt your hibernation file. Have been using this for a couple of
years now, need to move around all the time and sometimes have to use
my laptop in 10 locations in one day. It's really solid, I usually
only need to reboot if attaching the thinkpad docking station. The
downside is you have to roll a patch into your own kernel, but theres
plenty of HOW-TO's, perhaps too many ;)<br>
<br>
I see Suspend2 has now renamed Check it out: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tuxonice.net/">http://www.tuxonice.net/</a><br>

<pre wrap="">hello,
Anyone have suspend to ram or disk working on their laptop using the kernel
acpi stuff. I'm not talking about any hardware suspend features that a laptop
may have just the ones provided by the kernel like where you can use your
swap to save the current ram contents to etc..
Thanks in advance....

<pre wrap=""><!---->Yes I have it on my clapped out Dell. Works OK although after a couple
or so consecutive attempts without a reboot it locks up.
