My Thinkpad T21 feels slightly on steroids with -wli-2 :-). Some problems, though, were encountered: 1. fs/dcache.c/d_validate() function was removed in your patch, but it is used in at least one place ( fs/smbfs/cache.c/smb_dget_fpos() ). 2. With 2.6.0-test11 vanilla, suspend-to-ram/suspend-to-disk was working nicely. With -wli-2 suspend fails on 'stopping tasks' phase, and aborts with Dec 13 01:08:47 localhost kernel: Stopping tasks: ====================== Dec 13 01:08:47 localhost kernel: stopping tasks failed (1 tasks remaining) Dec 13 01:08:47 localhost kernel: Restarting tasks...<6> Strange, swapper not stopped Hope this helps. -- With all the best, yarick at relex dot ru.
