The suspend2 patches do most of this already. You can specify a default suspend image that gets loaded on boot. Kernel help says its for use in embedded systems to make the system come back up in a default loaded state. I not sure if it does compression and its a raw partition store in the swap partition rather than a filesystem. So it would need some tweaking. We were investigating this on one of the systems at my old employer Bitworks. I never actually used it though. http://www.suspend2.net/ -- Richard A.
