I think I'll disable the others just in case [you only need *one* suspending mechanism]. >> any specific way to create the swap space for saving the state to? >Suspend2 will use any swap space you have available.

Hmmm. Would turning on the swap space be a better option then? I had left it off so that it wouldn't get used. Something I was wondering about: what happens then if the swap space is all filled? I liked having a dedicated partition so that that wouldn't be an issue. BTW, the drive in this is a plain IDE one. >> ran mkswap on it.

I'd need more info to properly diagnose the problem. Hmm. I'm hoping to take advantage of 2.6.2-rc3's ACPI updates (I have some acpi wonkiness which is undoubtedly related to Dell and its infamous DSDTs). Any chance you could make that your first -rc target? :) I'll give you a lollipop whenever I see you IRL. Anyhow, I'm gonna hit the hay.
