If you´re using a 2.4.xx kernel have a go at the swsusp patch!! it usesregular swapspace to hibernate and works perfectly stable on my system. it is implemented in the development 2.5.xx kernel tree. it has two known problems: one is pcmcia cards and the other is gpm. and it can´t be called from within X safely although it doesn´t matter if X is running as long as its called from the Console (or VT of course). but all of these issues can be handled by a 10 line shell script doing chvt 1, gpm stop, pcmcia stop, then calls swsusp and then starts everything again and chvt 7. you´ll have to recompile though because it obviously wouldn´t work as a module. can´t remember the URL but google swsusp should do. greets Benny
