FWIW, I didn't have any luck with the 2.4.3 swsusp-v8pre3 patch - my
C1VE suspended to disk, but on re-reading the memory image from swap
space the machine reset and we were back to the LILO prompt & fsck.

I tried turning everything off at build time that I didn't need to
actually boot the machine, and with 'CONFIG_HWSTATE_RESTORE' both on
and off - to no avail.  Will do a bit more digging to see if I can
figure out the problem, since I was enjoying running the bleeding edge
kernels on this box...

On the other hand the swsusp-v7c patch worked against 2.2.19 with only
minor tweakings, and presumably out-of-the-box against 2.2.18, which
is what it was actually indended for.  Yay!

Just so you don't get your hopes up too high, with this patch (only
tried with CONFIG_HWSTATE_RESTORE off so far) I still had to restart
networking and X after powering up again.  Compared with a full reboot
(of RedHat 7.1!) that's a small price to pay ;-)

But as Alan Cox says, expected the unexpected if you use this in
conjunction with ext3 or ReiserFS at the minute... !

Cheers,

Martin
