I am trying to understand Suspend 2 and what I have to do to get it working in Centos 5. There is quite a bit for it at ATrpms: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/hibernate-suspend2/ http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/kernel-suspend2/ The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel? I noticed that over at: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/ There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now). So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2. Thanks.

But note: There is a new kernel in build and new kmdl for that kernel, so you may want to hold off for 12-24h before installing. You can of course already install the 8.1.4 kernel and then let yum update (with the yum-plugin-kmdl) do its magic.> I noticed that over at: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/ > > There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I > have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now).Yes, all kmdls are built for the vendor kernel and the suspend2 kernels.> So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2.Point yum to ATrpms and do yum install kernel-suspend2 Boot into it and if you want some kmdl like madwifi do yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r` If you want to do that before booting into the new kernel then replace `uname -r` with the uname-r-to-be. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Or is there something I am to put in its place even after a reboot? And what is 'uname -r' ????

I will check when I reboot with that drive again. But definitely saw a 2.6.20 something or other kernel mod.
