I used to compile my own kernels for my older ThinkPads, but on the T520 the packaged 3.0 works so great, that I didn´t feel like compiling my own one, although it should compile pretty fast on that T520 with Intel SSD 320. A good starting point for an own kernel is the config from the debian one and the package kernel-package. But that for sure it out of the scope of debian-laptop. Maybe sometime I subscribe to debian-user, but for now I am just on debian-user-german. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I wanted to get back to you and tell you that I was finally able to install a 3.0 kernel (Wheezy- not Sid) and you are correct- now my Thinkpad T520 will resume from sleep properly. Thanks so much! For some background for others: I had been using Squeeze (kernel 2.6.32-5) and my T520 would not resume from sleep properly. Looking around on the web I saw that a number of other people were having this problem. I first tried to compile my own 3.0 kernel within Squeeze- but alas, choosing the proper kernel compile options for this beginner proved to be too difficult. I then tried upgrading to Wheezy through apt-get install full-upgrade using Wheezy sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. Although this did upgrade all the packages, it did not upgrade the kernel, and the resume from sleep problem persisted. I finally decided to start from scratch and do a fresh install of Wheezy from a netinstall cd (weekly build). This proved difficult because the installer kept failing to install Grub, and as a beginner installing Grub manually proved beyond my skill. Finally, with help from the debian-user forum ([email protected]) I was able to install Wheezy. Now my T520 does resume from sleep properly. thanks again, Keith Ostertag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
