I think this is called suspend/resume. I see there is a kernel called suspend2-sources. This uses suspend2, which is an externally maintained patch to the kernel [1]. Suspend2 may work better than the in-kernel suspend implementation for some cases. I know nothing about the hardened kernel, but you should be able to enable the 'normal' suspend to disk and suspend to ram options. Look under "Power management options..." and turn on "Software Suspend" for suspend-to-disk support. You can also add "ACPI...->Sleep States" for suspend-to-ram. I highly recommend merging and using hibernate-script. This is an advanced script that can handle most suspend/standby tasks. Just edit the config file[s] in /etc/hibernate/, and run "hibernate -F ". I also recommend getting the ~arch version of hibernate-script, so that you can start off using the new config file layout. -Richard [1] http://www.suspend2.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Install the hibernate package and configure /etc/acpi/default.sh properly: case "$action" in power) #/sbin/init 0 logger "$group, ACPI action $action thru default.sh invoked - calling /usr/sbin/hibernate" /usr/sbin/hibernate logger "/usr/sbin/hibernate finished" ;; You'll also need to compile the "button" module in the kernel. I think this is called suspend/resume. I see there is a kernel called suspend2-sources. Is there any way to do it with my hardened-sources kernel? Dunno. But you don't *HAVE* to use suspend2 to do suspend-to-disk. The plain kernel does this as well.

I don't have any hard numbers, but I think the difference is something like twenty seconds versus a minute to fully suspend on my laptop. This isn't normally a big deal, and you don't need to migrate from the hardened kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
