Never read about option "restore".

I use with a vanilla kernel with suspend2 kernel-patch:

resume=swap:/dev/hda6

I also use initrd (created with yaird) and kernel-package to build my
kernel for my thinkpad R50p.

I created a installation report on my website (german):
http://www.kai-hildebrandt.de/linux/thinkpad/index.html

Nearly everything works now... :-)

Standby and Hibernate, Thinkpad Keys (all), ACPI, WLAN and cpufreq, etc.

Some thinks should work but I cannot test:

Bluetooth and IrDA, internal modem (kernel module exists, you need the
package sl-modem-daemon (SmartLink))


FYI, Thinkpad and Debian users ;-)
