Well, there are. I was just about to add one to my system to use tuxonice with encrypted swap. AFAICS there's no way to have both at the moment without an initrd. Although I don't really see why it *should* be, cryptsetup being the only thing that needs to run before I can resume; I think it should be possible to hack some in-kernel cryptsetup using kdb's keyboard handling, just that nobody has done it yet :) cheers, Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.
