I tried 2.6.9-rc2-mm2 and here the results:

- echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
after 10m the suspend process is still going on and the data written
to the swap partition are only 1% (and so I stopped the process ;-) )

- echo disk > /sys/power/state
the suspend process seems ok, but the resume arrives suddenly after the
suspend is finished (I mean, the computer doesn't power off)

Anyway, I saw that in the kernel there's no more the choice for pmdisk:
is this normal?

BTW, as I counted the time for -mm2, I did the same for a vanilla 2.6.9
+ latest ACPI patch:

- echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
40s and now the computer automatically power off (AFAIR the only
driver upgrade is the 'ipw2100', where I used the latest patch posted in
this list, too)

- echo disk > /sys/power/state
30s to the power off

Now, Pavel, I ask you the same question Karol already answered: as I've
the choice between swsusp and pmdisk, Karol suggested to use pmdisk. And
you?

Thx, bye,
