It's trivial to do this in userspace - just have an app in initramfs that checks for a swsusp signature, and then compare the kernel versions. If they mismatch, prompt for what to do. Putting it in the kernel is madness. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
