For what it's worth 2.4.1[023] have all worked well for suspend on my Thinkpad (currently can't do hibernation on this Thinkpad because I have lost the PS2.EXE). I had a problem with 2.4.12 initially when I accidentally compiled the kernel as SMP and it broke APM terribly (almost everything caused a hang). 2.4.12 broke suspend on a friend's VAIO but 2.4.13 is working well for him now. This is all using stock kernels from ftp.kernel.org, not Debian kernels. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
