1 I'm installing vanilla-sources-2.6.11.10 now. After emerging kernel
2 sources, go to www.suspend2.net and get
3 http://www.suspend2.net/downloads/all/software-suspend-2.1.8-for-2.6.11.tar.bz2
4 (stable)
5 or
6 http://www.suspend2.net/downloads/all/software-suspend-2.1.8.7-for-2.6.11.8.tar.bz2
7 (unstable).
8 Unpack it somewhere i.e. /root/software-supend then go to
9 /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.10 and use: /root/software-suspend/apply.
10 This will patch the kernel. Then "make menuconfig" and choose whatever
11 you need, save and "make ; make modules_install".
12 Copy the kernel and System.map to /boot, edit grub.conf:
13 kernel (hd0,X)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.10 root=/dev/hdaX
14 psmouse.proto=imps resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX
15 video=vesafb:ywrap,vga=0x317,nomtrr
16
17 Also, I don't use kernel IBM ACPI option, but I did used: emerge
18 ibm-acpi + radeontool hibernate and laptop-mode-tools (take care with
19 HDD spindown options - I've disabled that features as they are dangerous ).
20 I don't use genkernel or initrd usually, but now I have initrd for
21 bootsplash.
