Install the "hibernate-script" package, version 1.91 (version 1.93 has a bug, and I have not tested any later versions): http://at-mirror.suspend2.net/downloads/all/hibernate-script-1.91.tar.gz You will need this patch: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/browser/trunk/packages/hibernate-script/hibernate-script-1.91-lfs-3.patch?format=txt The installation procedure is: rm -rf /etc/hibernate patch -Np1 -i ../hibernate-script-1.91-lfs-3.patch yes | PREFIX=/usr MAN_DIR=/usr/share/man ./install.sh The actual setup is: 1) Add "resume=/dev/myvg/swap" to the kernel arguments in menu.lst 2) Make sure that /dev/myvg/swap is mentioned as swap space in /etc/fstab 3) Run "hibernate" and boot again. If step 3 fails with "acpi_pm_prepare does not support 4" in dmesg, run "echo shutdown >/sys/power/disk" and retry. -- Alexander E.
