In fact NTFS is not much of a problem because the site delivers a large
amount of precompiled rpms for all(?) the official kernels but being
able to just install it with a simpel apt-get/smart install command
would be great.
The software suspend (http://mhensler.de/swsusp/index_en.php) is what
gives me the most "problems", I'm running FC3 on a laptop and the
suspend to ram works but I really want suspend to disk. Software Suspend
seems to have what it takes and they have a lot of ready-tu-use kernels
but of course the moment I install one of those I lose all ATrpms
goodness (like the nvidia kernel modules).
So.... any chance that any of this might be included some time?
And if so, is there any help that I could give to make it happen (sooner)?
ntfs may be supported soon, it's quite easy to add the kmdls. software
suspend is a different beast. It requires a separate kernel (not a
kmdl) and last time I tried (1-2 years?) it was just eating my
PC.
I wouldn't mind a special myth kernel as Mark suggested that would
have such features in. But I think it will be quite an effort to work
on this.
Ok, it has been a while but in the last couple of days I've been trying
out Matthias Hensler's kernels that include software suspend
(http://mhensler.de/swsusp/index_en.php) and they work perfectly for me.
So... maybe I could convince you to take another look at software
suspend support for the AT kernel? :-D
The information on the site is quite extensive and there are all kinds
of ready-to-install rpms and such so hopefully it wouldn't be too much
work for you to include it into ATrpms.
Cheers,

PS: Suspending and rebooting to another kernel _will_ cause problems
with your harddisk as I found out :-) Luckily nothing to serious in my
case. I should have used the suggested patch to the init scripts that
empties out the suspend information in the swap partition if you boot a
kernel that has no software suspend support.
