Hello guys:

I'm try to porting Software Suspend to PowerPC. But I'm not family with
PowerPC assemble languae. So need someone to help me write the save
process state function in assemble language.

1: Download i386 suspend patch for 2.6.1 from swsusp.sf.net
 you need two patch 
 software-suspend-core-2.0-rc4-whole.bz2
 software-suspend-linux-2.6.1-rev1-whole.bz2
2: first you need apply linux-2.6.1 to 2.6.1 clean kernel
   then apply core-2.0-rc4 to current patched kernel
3: then apply ppc-swsusp.patch to patched kernel
4: do make menuconfig
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND2=y
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_DEBUG=y
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_GZIP_COMPRESSION=y
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_KEEP_IMAGE=y
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_LZF_COMPRESSION=y
 CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_SWAPWRITER=y
5: test with swsusp enable kernel.
 in yaboot prompt:
 /vmlinux.swsusp root=/dev/hda13 resume2=swap:/dev/hda10 init=/bin/sh
 
 /dev/hda13 is the root device name
 /dev/hda10 is swap device name
 
6: run suspend script to do software suspend, now the machine will power
 off.

7: power on machin, in yaboot prompt:
  /vmlinux.swsusp root=/dev/hda13 resume2=swap:/dev/hda10 init=/bin/sh

But for now the save and restore processor state is not finish, the
resume will oops.
