Hi! I'd like to get Suspend-To-Disk working on my notebook. For this, I'd like to use suspend2 http://suspend2.net/, using the suspend2-sources-2.6.13-r4. I tried to follow the <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Software_Suspend_v2> as closely as possible.
On my system, I'm using LVM for everything, besides /boot and swap. This means, that / is also on a LVM2 LV. Suspending the system works somewhat fine when I'm in text mode and call the hibernate script. What does not (satisfactory) work, is resuming. The suspend2 howto at <http://www.suspend2.net/HOWTO-7.html#ss7.3> says: | in your linuxrc/init: | mount /proc | load modules as required | use dmsetup create dm-0 <path to config-file> to set up access to the LVM partition | echo > /proc/software_suspend/do_resume | do any other actions required (mount rootfs if initramfs...) [...] As my / is on a LVM, I must (must I?) use an initrd. For this, I use the genkernel initramfs and also linuxrc. Trying to follow the advice from the suspend2.net HOWTO, I'm looking for the correct spot to add "echo > /proc/software_suspend/do_resume". Where would this be? Reading /usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc, I find in line 25 "mount -o remount,rw /". But this should be AFTER dmsetup has been invoked. But where is the call to dmsetup in the linuxrc of genkernel? Is anyone here using swsusp2 with LVM? What's the correct and working configuration?
