[gentoo-user] New hibernate modules in 2.6.23-gentoo-r3

[Mick]

Hi All,

Could you please help me understand how I should be setting hibernation for my 
laptop:

There an new hibernate options in the new stable kernel:

 [*] Suspend to RAM and standby
 [*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')
 (/dev/hda1) Default resume partition
 [*] ACPI Support (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  --->

Now, the last option contains:

 --- ACPI Support (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
 [ ]   Deprecated /proc/acpi files
 [ ]   Deprecated /proc/acpi/event support

which if I deselect I end up with boot errors because the acpid no longer 
finds the relevant files:

 * Starting acpid ...
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory    [ !! ]

So, the question is:  how is one supposed to configure hibernation under the 
new setup?  Is acpid deprecated altogether and should be removed, or should I 
keep it and re-enable the deprecated files and event support  in the kernel.  
(The Docs seem to hint that it may still be of use, which implies that the 
deprecated modules should be enabled.)
