Any idea if suspend/hybernation will be in future kernels?

I'd like it included, too. Some toshiba laptops support sleep but not suspend, and battery runs out within few hours if it was low before suspend. That's bad.

And the patch was pretty clean last time I checked.

Just a small adition to the 2.5 whislist:
Is "hibernation" on linux possible? Ideally it should write out on the / running on ext2fs and the new journaling fs's like reiserfs, xfs, etx3 etc and not some special filesystem or unpartiotioned space etc. I mean that this should be working without the need to repartiotion/reinstall. This is something **very** useful for laptop owners, not having to shut down (all) applications when need to grab the laptop and travel. Id' like to see this working nice in 2.6.

Best regards,

Not only for laptops :)

It's nice for PCs too also.

And it is called sw_susp. So what about trying it, *NOW*?

I just said it is. However you definitely do not want to write it onto filesystem -- that's much too hard. But you can write it to the swap space, and that's exactly what the patch does.

Clean? I think it is impossible to write hibernation properly without adding suspend/resume hooks to all drivers. And I doubt anybody is able to do it.

If we don't rewrite all drivers, hibernation will be just a 'cool feature' that doesn't work most time.
