+(6) For an initramfs made by yaird, you can yaird let load the resume binary.
+For this purpose, edit /etc/yaird/Templates.cfg, and find "Template RESUME"
+The first few lines should read as follows:
+	TEMPLATE resume
+	BEGIN
+		FILE "/usr/local/sbin/resume"
+		FILE "/etc/suspend.conf"
+		SCRIPT "/init"

+			!    mkcdev /dev/snapshot misc/snapshot
+			!    /usr/local/sbin/resume
+			!  fi
+Here, the two "FILE" lines and the last if-then statement are new.
+
+Furthermore, yaird needs to know what the resume partition is.  You can either edit
+/etc/yaird/Default.cfg and add that to the RESUME goal, or add an option "resume"
+to your swap partition in /etc/fstab, as follows
+/dev/hda3	none		swap	sw,resume		0	0
+
+Finally, resume needs to be where you say it is in Templates.cfg, so do
+install --mode=755 resume /usr/local/sbin/
+
+With all the above done, run yaird (or if you are a lazy Debian user, just reinstall 
+linux-image-2.6.17-...).
