It's not difficult at all to maintain a system that can suspend to disk using either method, especially if you use something like Bernard's hibernate scripts. I would say that's especially important if you're posting the patches for inclusion in mainline. It's simply not acceptible to merge patches that break working in-kernel setups. > Did you report them to the list?

Because of the intermittency of the crashes, I was usually on the road or in the middle of something else when a crash happened, so I never captured any of the backtraces. Jason
