Suspend2 + LVM2 + Initramfs

Hi,

I'm trying to get Suspend2 to work with my machine.
I've patched the latest vanilla-source kernel with Suspend2 and got all that to work, but I have a slight problem.

Since I have to use a initramfs file because I have a LVM2 volume for all my partitions exept /boot

I've read some wiki posts and came to the conclution I have to add this line before the initramfs mounts the partitions.
"echo > /proc/suspend2/do_resume "

Something like this

But I've always used genkernel to make my initramfs files, ie with "genkernel --lvm2 --gensplash=emergence initrd"

My problem is now how I am suppsed to get that special line in the initramfs file before it mounts the partitions.

If anyone has been able to find anything about this I would be really happy for the help on the topic.

Thanks in advance

You can modify the template file genkernel uses (in /usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc), or you can copy it somewhere, edit it, and specify it to genkernel with "--linuxrc=/path/to/my/linuxrc". In any case, you will have to do it again if you update genkernel, as the default file may have changed.

Thanks for the reply

I was going in that direction after posting and was actually editing the real file for it.
Thanks for informing me that I could use a copy of the file.

I still have a problem of knowing where in that file I need to put it tough.

I assume It would be something like this...
