 Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:01 pm Post subject: Suspend2+Initrd = ..help.. |
 |
|
I am trying install Suspend2 on my Laptop Thinkpad T60 and I really want to avoid 'corrupting my HD'.
Below is my grub.conf and the kernel is built with the command "genkernel all".
| Quote: | title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.20-viper6 Suspend2
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.20-viper6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 swap:/dev/sda2 doscsi video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@70 vga=791 splash=verbose,theme:newtheme CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.20-viper6

Admittedly, I know nothing about initrd  (or maybe  ).
The 'HOWTO Software Suspend v2' says that I need to simply add | Code: | | echo > /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume |
to
/usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc, but "exactly where and how is big question". The HOWTO also mentions a number of alternatives (with edits dating from 15 Dec 2005).
Googling the great gentoo forum I found https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-505174-highlight-echo+sys+power+suspend2+doresume.html
that mentions "suspend2_resume" is a new approach for handling 'initrd' for the latest version of suspend2. However "suspend2_resume" is already included in /usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc.
What do I do ?
Do I still need to include the "echo > /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume" mod?
Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated. |

Sorry man, I don't use genkernel for a long time, precisely when I switched to suspend2-sources, because in those times it could compile this kernel correctly.
To avoid this problem you could compile your kernel manually as I do since then. It is not that hard as it might sound. Check out this guide in the Gentoo-Wiki
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Compile_a_Kernel_Manually
Hope this helps

Sorry for my terrible english 
My first phrase should have been written as:

The kernel I use is fine and I have no problem compiling the kernel with genkernel or any other procedure. Note the same suspend2 patch set is used in both of the kernel suspend-sources and viper6 kernels.
My problem is that I find the suspend2 HOWTO, unclear with regards to making changes for initrd.
Could you post the mods you made to linuxrc, with maybe a short description. |
