ok

the system parameters.

I informed the PMON project owner.
>> 6/ With the 2.6.35 and the 2.6.37 kernels the yeelong-base and
grub-yeeloong packages seem to be not more required. However the suspend
to ram and the hibernate function dont work anymore.
> Yeeloong-base does 2 things (so far): update the kernel and provide an
init script for wifi. We've kept to 2.6.32 for a while now because there
was no real need to update.
> Yeeloong-base also pulls in grub-yeeloong because it's a nicer boot
loader than PMON. It's slow, but I hear that's a lot better in newer
versions of GRUB (should even be usable as a firmware replacement for
PMON). We haven't got around to updating it yet.
See: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.grub.devel/17271
> Suspend and hibernate work for me with both .35 and .37. Make sure you
edit the swap partition in /etc/fstab for .37. Do you get any error
messages (check dmesg)?
After trying "suspend to ram", dmesg says:
ata& SRST failed (errno=-16
After tried to hibernate, the dmesg says:
PM: thaw of devices complete after 322.949 msecs
PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a
PM: Cannot get swap writer
The swap line in /etc/fstab is
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
This said, I though that the issue was that the swap partition was
incorrectly set to 83 (instead of 82) in fdisk. I changed it and...
got the same output in dmesg
Same result after executing
swapon -a
Anyway, it's good to know that the power management is working on you
configuration. I'll investigate further here later.
Kind regards
