I'll second this. I moved to 2.6 because I needed a slew of drivers that were difficult to patch into 2.4 or out of date or etc. However, I haven't had a working 2.6 swsusp for probably 4 months or so (since I stopped using the 2.6.3 version after it ate my ext3 journal on my root partition). I suppose I could look at going back to 2.4.... -- Eric Altendorf // http://www.speedtoys.com/~eric
