Hello, >1. Read the suspend/resume sections (S4 in particular) of the ACPI spec: > http://acpi.info We have downloaded the ACPI spec and will start reading it soon. >2. Review the source code and email list archives for Linux software >suspend 2: http://www.suspend2.net Went through the patch and found some useful documentation of how they have actually implemented suspend2. To get an atomic copy of the pages,they have divided the pages into two 'pagesets',which are dumped to the disk one after the other, rather than simply writing entire memory contents to the disk page after page. >This should be enough to get you started. Feel free to post progress >reports and questions here. We certainly will :) Sincere regards, Pranav --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once." -- John Wheeler
