Hi Debian!
I am trying to get swsusp working in the 2.6.8 kernel that comes with the installer rc2. I have asked this question before, but now I know more.
So I recompiled the kernel with:
# Power management options (ACPI, APM) # CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y CONFIG_PM_DISK=y CONFIG_PM_DISK_PARTITION="/dev/hda13"
but all other options, including initrd, exactly the same.
According to the Documentation one can suspend either with:
echo 4 >/proc/acpi/sleep
or:
echo disk >/sys/power/state
That works. It suspends the system and shuts off power. (Minor matter: it seems you cannot use framebuffers or have mysql running ;-) )
But... on rebooting with append="resume=/dev/hda13" I get a message: kernel: Unable to find swap-space signature.
swsusp messed up the swap. Now you cannot suspend anymore: he will complain there is no swap space, and he's right.
So mkswap /dev/hda13 sets that right and he will suspend again.
Googling in http://groups.google.com.au/groups with the good googler I came across exactly this symptom, but more than a year ago and for 2.6.0.
So a question: has anyone got software_suspend (not the one from here: http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/index.html) to work with resume?
It also happens with 2.6.9.
Thanks!
