Hmmm.... I reinstalled, this time creating a 768M & a 1G swap partition, I intended to use the 1G partition as the software suspend partition. It works great when I run 'pmsuspend2' from the command line. Ie it suspends, and in a matter of seconds it can come back up. If I shut the lid though, it still hangs!! Once again it works if I change the following in lilo.conf : "acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7" to "acpi=on" So it seems there is still a problem..... And yes I did remove /dev/hda7 from /etc/fstab. So does anyone have anymore suggestions ? :-) Mof.
