So you're saying, let the machine come all the way up, log in as root, "echo 8:5 > /sys/power/resume" (I think that was the name), then "echo resume > /sys/power/state"? Hmm, you would have to bypass "swapon -a", e.g. boot with the -b kernel parameter. Or I'll bet one could do something equivalent in the initrd -- much more user friendly. But the friendliest of all would be if the swsusp resume call were not a late_initcall but rather were called just before the root was mounted, after the initrd (if any) had loaded whatever modules. I think you're confirming that that approach would not blow up the kernel -- if it will work with the root mounted and user space in full roar (well, skimpy roar with the -b switch), then it's got to be OK at the earlier time. I'll see what I can do. James F.
