It does something. but I thought that would write it's data to my swap partition, too. However what happends is, that it looks like it shuts down, and then I see a screen from my bios, telling me that suspend failed, because there is no partition to save the data to. So I wonder: is the power management suspend to disk code meant to work only in combination with the bios? With earlier kernels I had success with the swsusp code, it worked fine without bios support. I will look at that again. Will I need to remove the power management suspend to disk code from my config to make the swsusp code work again ? (echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep does nothing, it worked fine with earlier kernels (except vga and wlan)). test8, compiled without PM_DISK: swsusp works great! except x11 fullscreen mode doesn't work, after killing xfree (debian testing) and restarting xfree it works fine. /sys/power/state still includes "disk" as supported method, even though PM_DISK is not compiled in. strange.
