Depending on your kernel version, you may not have any luck using suspend. I never had luck, but I have not tried recently with the 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 kernels.From swsusp.txt in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/power: ... You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command line. Then you suspend by echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state ...
So I just did that: echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/stateIt stops, i.e suspends the system. Very quick. Pop goes the speaker and power goes off. Leaves the external modem connected.
Then what. I have no option but hitting the power on button and selected the lilo image where I had added "resume/dev/hda13", my swap device.
That's where things went wrong: it just booted and of course found bad disks etc. rebooted itself and I had to clean things up.
May be somebody else has used 2.6.12 with suspend successfully.I added the suspend option with the already existeing boot parms. Maybe that is wrong, who knows.
It will be a while before I try again... ;-) H
