Re: [Suspend2-devel] What's in store for 2008 for TuxOnIce?
Hi Nigel, I do agree with all your plans ;) I'm also happy with the current version of tuxonice. The main question is : "What is the status of merging into mainline" (with or without any additional patch from other suspend patch). I have seen quite a lot of mails about this topic on the lmkl in 2007... ;) Xavier Hi all. With the start of a new year, I suppose it's a good time to think about what I'd like to do with TuxOnIce this year and see what feedback I get. First up, I'm thinking about closing the mailing lists and asking people to use LKML instead for reporting issues and so on. I'm thinking about this because it will help with allowing people who work on mainline to see how stable (or otherwise!) TuxOnIce is now. It should also help when (as often happens) bug reports aren't actually issues with the patch, but with vanilla (ie drivers). Perhaps it will also help with whatever effort I find time to make towards convincing Andrew that it really does have significant advantages over [u]swsusp and kexec based hibernation. Secondly, I'm planning on moving the website soonish. It's taken longer than I planned because it will be sharing with another server I'm maintaining, and it has taken longer than expected to find good hosting for the other server (which was done first). Now that I'm happy with the other server's state, I'm hoping to start shifting suspend2.net/tuxonice.net soon. For those who might be looking for hosting themselves, I'm using slicehost. I initially tried GoDaddy, but had terrible service, problems with draconian limits on the volume of outgoing email (1000/day by default - useless if you're doing mailing lists) and unexpected, unexplained delays in mail delivery through the SMTP delay they force you to use. Slicehost, on the other hand, are terrific to deal with in everyway. If you sign up with them because of this email, please consider putting my email (nigel at suspend2.net) as the referrer - I then get a discount on the cost of the hosting. Third, regarding the patch itself, I'm taking my time in working towards the 3.0 release. We don't have any major bugs with 3.0-rc3 reported, but I have some things I want to complete before the final release: * see it well tested; * get a finished initial version of the cluster support; * finish completing support for the new resume-from-other kernels functionality that Rafael has added in 2.6.24. (We can resume from the same kernel at the moment, but I need to convince myself that nosave data is properly handled).

Reboot problem (was: Re: [Suspend2-devel] What's in store for 2008 for TuxOnIce?)

We don't have any major bugs with 3.0-rc3 reported [...]. Well, I think I still have a bug, though it is possibly a mainline problem and it's not a showstopper. After a suspend/resume cycle the reboot does not work. The system hangs with "Rebooting system" (or similar). After that you have to hard reset the system, which is not really a problem as filesystems have been unmounted before. Reboot without a suspend cycle before and halt with and without suspend cycle work without problems. I'm using toi 3.0-rc3 with kernel 2.6.24-rc6 and beside the problem described above I'm really happy with toi. Happy new your to everybody! -- Regards, Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
