I don't know how many changes in the scripting exist, though and I've never tried suspend1. Regards Florian Philipp -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Not so sure about the knowledgeable part, but here it goes: Some devices are not managed successfully by acpid. You need to either shut them down/bring them up by hand or amend your hibernate scripts to do so, prior to hibernation taking place. Modems and USB devices are the usual suspects. If you run out of space it will tell you so in syslog. Now someone more knowledgeable could build this up a bit. ;-) HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

This topic has gotten me wondering. I used to us Suspend2-sources, but on my current laptop install I'm just flying with gentoo-sources using the built in suspend. What are the important differences? Sometimes upon trying to execute the hibernate script, it will fail with some kind of "Access denied" or some such, but I've never been able to determine exactly under what circumstances that happens. It might be when I've been using the swap space for actual swapping, but I've not actually confirmed that.
