I tried to compile this patch with the following command line. It launches the menuconfig window and I navigate to Power->Software Suspend 2 and enable the relevant options. make-kpkg --initrd --added-patches suspend2 --config menuconfig kernel_image I've installed "linux-source-2.6.12" (Version: 2.6.12-10) and unpacked it. I installed the hibernate scripts. After compiling for a while the make-kpkg process fails with the errors included below. I stuffed the config options directly into my .config and restarted make-kpkg. > Also, please use reportbug to report bugs as it includes important > information about your system.
