Hi David,
Yes, I'm only talking about adding those options to your grub.conf or
lilo.conf file -- no kernel re-compiles are needed, at least for the
Fedora Core kernels that I'm using.
The few commands I provided are what I run to unload some kernel modules
which, in my experience, makes things work more smoothly. For instance,
certain kernel modules won't gracefully handle the sleep/awake cycle.
And, for me at least, the un-suspend process is initiated simply by
lifting the lid. Theres a little button thats triggered by the lid and
makes the system awake. Nothing else is required.

Yeah, I'm certain you could do it. I haven't bothered since I have a
"shutdown ritual" that I follow (including remembering to wrap up the
cables) and I do it without much thought. :-)
