After moving from gentoo-sources-2.6.39-r3 to 3.1.6 (yes, I had put off upgrading the whole system for something like 6 mos.), I found hibernation wouldn't work on my laptop. Instead of troubleshooting, I tried the unstable gentoo-sources-3.2.1, and AFAICT everything is working fine, including hibernation.
I've never used any unstable build for the kernel, and once a >=3.2.1 kernel goes stable, I'll stick with stable again. But in the meantime, is there anything I should watch out for or keep in mind?
