Suspend2 Patching Howto

Suspend2 Patching Howto

[Ow Mun Heng]

This mail is mainly directed at Mr Nigel Cunningham,

Right now, what I am using in terms of suspend is whatever which is
already in the current kenel. AFAIK, there are few types of suspend code
which is Suspend/Suspend2/SWSusp (IIRC).

However, going to the suspend2 website, I find that there are a  number
of files and no clear direction on how to  properly patch the kernel to
include support for suspend2. (If it is and I missed it, please point me
in the right direction)

There are more than a couple of files in the suspend2 tarball and I'm
not sure how to proceed to get suspend2 implemented in my FC2 distro.
(at least for my testing pleasure)

If Nigel or someone else can provide a simple walkthrough, it would be
much appreciated.

What I would do is:

cp -arl linux-2.6.9-rc1 build-2.6.9-rc1
tar -xjf software-suspend-2.0.0.107-for-2.6.9-rc1.tar.bz2
cd build-2.6.9-rc1
for NAME in ../software-suspend-2.0.0.107-for-2.6.9-rc1/*; do patch -p1 -b < $NAME; done
make menuconfig

etc

Regards,

Nigel

Many today claim to be tolerant. True tolerance, however, can cope with others
being intolerant.
