Resume/suspend or |
| 85 |
hibernate/whatever-the-inverse-of-hibernate-is-called? Because |
| 86 |
resume/suspend has nothing to do with an initramfs (being genkernel or |
| 87 |
dracut or whatever), since it doesn't "boot" the machine again |
| 88 |
(contrary to hibernate/whatever-etc.) |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
My laptop has used dracut since months ago, and suspends/resumes just |
| 91 |
fine, as it does my media center. |
