Hi, when you manage to get Suspend to Ram (STR) working using command line, the rest is usually very easy. I'm using hibernate-script, so it is enough to run "hibernate-ram" and edit configs at /etc. You of course need a kernel compiled with appropriate options "on" (I don't have an access to it right now, but it is pretty obvious if you look for it). For debugging, you may want to start with X server switched off, unplugged usb devices and (as much as you can) kernel modules unloaded. When you manage to get it working with everything switched off, you can than add services, modules etc. and to reveal what (if anything) is a problem. The problem in my case was the ATI drivers, with very unpredictable behavior - one release was ok, the next one completely break it. If STR fails, it is most likely a driver or something. Using latest kernel helped. If you manage to find somebody with similar hardware, it also helps a lot - I have Thinkpad R60, so I'm not the one. As for the kernel version, I'm using 2.6.22 (suspend2-sources) and I have seen significant improvement in reliability when upgrading from 2.6.21 and 2.6.20, so you may also consider it. Most importantly, give it a try and if it does not work, report what, when etc. Best regards and good luck Jan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
