5If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try:
6
7* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't
8 really need
9
10* turn off APIC and preempt
11
Matt LaPlante53cb4722006-10-03 22:55:17 +020012* use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seems to go
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070013 wrong, force fsck when you have a chance]
14
15* turn off modules
16
17* use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might
18 want to try vesafb later]
19
20* try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single
21 user mode.
22
23* due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than
24 S3. Try that first.
25
26When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke
27suspend, and preferably fix that.
