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.
