tuxonice in lenny amd64 kernel
hi guys,
i am just about to install debian lenny on my new laptop (dell d430). i
intend to put 64bit system there, and since it features only ssd disk i
won't create any swap partition (the machine has 2 gb of memory so i
should hopefully be able to live w/o swap). since it is a notebook, it
would be nice to have suspend-to-disk working (empty battery, ...). in
case the swap is really needed, i would create it on an external usb drive.
i read somewhere that only tuxonice supports suspend to file - is it
necessary to extra patch the kernel in order to have tuxonice support?
on my old machine, i am using suspend w/o problems, but there i use the
swap for storing the image (and isn't it swsusp/uswsusp in the current
etch kernels?). or is my information outdated?
another probability *might* be creating swap on an external usb drive,
but i don't know how would the bootloader cope with that - maybe some
initrd magic would be needed?
thank you in advance for any hints.
best,
