Hey, that sounds great!
Just a little question: How do I use it :)

Don't think I am stupid...
I know that a echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep should do the trick, i.e.
suspend to disk. But how do I configure that suspend partition? Or where
does it suspend? I know for Phoenix BIOSes there is a tool on the net to
create that partition. I have a Asus L3800C notebook which has AFAIK an
AWARD BIOS. And AFAIK there is no tool available from ASUS or AWARD to
create such a partition.

But I want to suspend!
Grmpf...
Any idea?
Help?

BTW: This is great work! Using BIOS S4 should be included into standard
ACPI code and maybe made an option so that swsusp can be used in
parallel...

Anyway, great and thanks!
