Hi all.
Release candidate 4 is ready for you to test and now being uploaded to
Sourceforge. It should be used with the following updated version
specific patches, which are also now available:
- 2.4.21 revision 1
- 2.4.22 revision 1
- 2.4.23 revision 5.
- 2.4.24
- 2.6.1 revision 1
Changes since rc3A:
- Fixed issues with preemption resulting in 'bad: scheduling while
atomic' messages in 2.6.
- Lots of cleanups and new documentation in the code.
- Fixed broken automatic swapon/off support. Now also used in debug_info
proc entry.
- Preliminary SMP support for 2.4. 2.6 support is coming.
- LZF compression (thanks to Marc Lehmann) and readahead support.
Suspend and resume in half the time!
- Fixed long standing oops when aborting during writing the image
header. Thanks to Bernard Blackham. (I would have done it eventually!)
- Serial port power management support (Thanks Michael Frank). MTRR support converted to PM
support.
- Many other small fixes and improvements.
Further documentation is to be added and one minor quirk addressed, but codewise, I'm wondering if
this might be 2.0 by another name.
Nigel

Hi again.
Of course [PREVIEW] wasn't supposed to be in the subject line any more
:> The patches are all uploaded to Sourceforge now and in their proper
places.
Regards,
Nigel

Just gave it a shot. It works like a charm. :>

including urls might be nice.
also the feature comparison webpage
does not mention bios at all.
Till now I used SOFTWARE_SUSPEND because
it works fine, whereas PM_DISK somehow uses the
bios, and does not work (dell latitude c600,
I don't have that magic partition the dell bios
expects).
SWSUSP2 will be like SWSUSP concerning this issue?
regards, Andreas

True. Feel free to produce a column; I don't have any experience with
BIOS support for suspending, so don't know what it can/can't do and
whether this varies from computer to computer.

I'm not sure that PM_DISK does use the bios. In fact, I'm pretty sure it
doesn't. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Regarding the relationship with SOFTWARE_SUSPEND, the answer is yes.
Software Suspend 2 works in a very similar way to Software Suspend.

Its simple bug somewhere in PM_DISK code... it should not use the
bios...
> SWSUSP2 will be like SWSUSP concerning this issue?
Yes.
