Hi, I'm trying to get suspend-to-both (save state to disk, just like hibernate, but then suspend to ram) to work on ppc.
In the end it is probably simpler than I imagined. Due to the work the linux-pm guys did, it appears I only had to rip out all the evil hacks some x86 machines need. If someone could test the powerpc packages on debian by doing roughly the following, that would be really nice: a) Download: http://www.famdijkstra.org/~tdykstra/debian/uswsusp/uswsusp_0.6~cvs20070202-2.diff.gz http://www.famdijkstra.org/~tdykstra/debian/uswsusp/uswsusp_0.6~cvs20070202-2.dsc http://www.famdijkstra.org/~tdykstra/debian/uswsusp/uswsusp_0.6~cvs20070202.orig.tar.gz b) install debhelper (>= 5), pciutils-dev, docbook2x, po-debconf, libgcrypt-dev, zlib1g-dev, libsplashy0-dev c) Unpack & Compile $ dpkg-source -x uswsusp_0.6~cvs20070202-2.dsc $ cd uswsusp-0.6~cvs20070202/ $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot d) Install $ dpkg -i <the resulting deb> The install process should update your initramfs if you use initramfs-tools. You need an initramfs that includes the resume binary else it won't work. For testing purposes it is best you don't have splashy installed or at least disabled in /etc/uswsusp.conf. Then run s2both. This should save to disk (you'll get some messages reporting progress of that) and suspend-to-ram. Now wake up your system. If that went OK then run s2both and poweroff the hard way. Boot up again. All this is of course on your own risk, but you knew that;) As a bonus there is also a s2ram binary which won't do much more than 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' and ioctl(/dev/pmu,...) on older kernels. grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
