I ended up emerging hibernate-script and it runs great. I added a few |
10 |
tweaks to hibernate.conf. Here's what it looks like... |

12 |
TryMethod disk.conf |
13 |
Distribution gentoo |
14 |
OnResume 00 setfont lat1-10 |

UpInterfaces auto |

UseSysfsPowerState disk |

PowerdownMethod shutdown |

As for pm-utils... |

Why the bleep can't some programmers go to the bathroom without invoking |
23 |
hal and dbus? They're hard-coded dependancies for pm-utils. I've |
24 |
managed to keep hal and dbus (and java and pam) off my machine, and will |
25 |
continue doing so. If I had a bunch of money lying around, I'd hire some |
26 |
programmers to seriously slim down Firefox while I was at it. There is |
27 |
no reason a browser should need an SQL database. |

Nothing obvious in dmesg when I tried manually shutting down. The |
34 |
listing showed the system shutting down, and then starting up. No |
35 |
warnings, let alone errors. |
