Maybe you need to pass the resume-partition parameter to the kernel in the bootloader. Point it to your swap device. Maybe I should add: I have EFI notebook, and my kernel is copied to /boot/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi. So I boot over that EFI thing because it seemed the easiest thing to set up.. b)

Hello list, just for fun I am reading about alternatives to portage. So far the most interesting I found are: paludis and pkgsrc. paludis mostly because it seems to come from some gentoo-like enviroment and pkgsrc because of the nice thought to have the same pkg files for multiple OSes. Is
