I attempted to install grml automatically with an XFS file system.
Then, I installed grub, like this.
grub
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
Then,
rebooted.
Then, I did:
echo disk >/sys/power/state
The box hibernated.
Then after about 3 minutes (note that I did not as yet try cutting all
power) I turned it back on, and it resumed.
So then, I performed a second test.
I hibernated it again. But this time, (I shut off the power) (and it
should have, retained the information and resumed anyways) but, it didn't.
In fact, the machine did not eaven boot up. Took me thousands of
hard-forceful shut-downs and more, before I could get the computer working
properly again.
Note:This all occured under an XFS file sytem.
So, I've decided not to use that one.
Mikap:
What file system do you use yourself, and, what file systems have you
tested?
I want someone (if this has never been done) to test this out by
hibernating a system with all the file systems GRML supports, and in every
test shut off all power for about 5 minutes, turn on all power, turn on
the computer, and see if it resumes.
Any tests, or assistance with this would be greatful!
Regards,
Keith

I use hibernation my self.
My root partition has an ext3 filesystem on it, but i think your
problem lies elsewhere.
Hibernation dumps the ram onto a swapdisk.
So that should work out of the box, provided your swapdisk is at least
as big as your ram.
Now you also have to tell grub to resume the file. I use lilo, there
the trick is to add resume to the append line. I guess it's something
similar with grub. If you don't do this, the
swapdisk will not be reused as swap, and thus you can't hibernate the
next time.

I'd look into fbgrab. just took a picture of me reading a manpage, and
that worked, so it should work while installing grml.

Use fbgrab if running grml2hd on plain console.
If using X use either import(1) or the gkrellshoot plugin for
gkrellm (I really like the latter one because you can select the
region you want to save, if you want too).
