Could be that it doesn't work properly on your computer. It doesn't work everywhere yet unfortunately. Could also be that you have a bug in the acpi code in the bios (unfortunately quite common). > one swap partition mounted. > At least the version in software-suspend.berlios.de (swsusp 2) can handle more then one swap partition (and swap file and a host of other stuff) but it will require you to recompile your kernel. It may work for you though were the in-kernel version failed. > H. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
