How to swsusp2 + encrypted swap partition ???

[Master One]

I just got the encryption of the swap partition up and running, using the new baselayout, but this disables the possibility to use swsusp2, since it's no longer /dev/hda2 used as swap-device, but /dev/mapper/crypt-swap.

To be able to use swsusp2 and an encrypted swap partition together, an advanced installation with an initrd is needed, but I am afraid I do not have the time and knowledge to perform that step.

The necessary hints are in the softwaresuspend howto.
All the swsusp2 stuff should be compiled as modules, and a proper initrd has to be setup.

Can someone explain in detail, how to set up this initrd and the necessary kernel-options, to make this work?

Noone any idea?

Where are the "initrd" specialists from this forum?

If noone already has a ready-to-use solution, at least some hints would be appreciated (but I really wonder, because encrypting "swap" is very popular at the moment, you never can be safe enough, and I am sure there is also a growing swsusp2 fan circle arround, combining both leeds to the best result ever, I hope).

I don't have the time to get into it, so I skipped the idea of using swsusp and sticked with swap encryption the normal way using the latest ~x86 baselayout. If someone would come up with a howto including the steps to create the proper initrd image, I'd probably give it a try again, but on the other hand swsusp2 is still too experimental concerning driver handling (still no solution if using ATI's fglrx module and the intel_agp kernel module).
