http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/kernel/pmdisk-2.6.7-rc2.diff which is a modification of my initial patch posted to debian-powerpc (for 2.6.5, http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/04/msg00116.html) to support 2.6.7, fix bugs in signal handling and preempt the forever boring config issue (people selecting both SUSPEND and PM_DISK options). I've inspected the patch to make sure it's just that. > > I've not heard of any problems with the patch other than suspend > > breaking due to broken modules still loaded - pwrctl-local can take > > care of that, too. > > Then the patch should not go into an official kernel unless both pmud > and pbbuttonsd support this module unloading thing. By support I mean The pmdisk suspend functionality is sufficiently arcane to trigger that it won't happen accidentially. Hence, it won't cause any harm to have it compiled in.

Do you have a version of pwrctl that takes care of this? http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/pwrctl-local > What about pbbuttonsd? No idea, I don't use it. They will use the same generic script interface as pmud does, in the end. Michael
