Does anyone have the foggiest on how to suspend your machine with ACPI?
I'm completely lost, even after reading the docs on it 
ACPI is fully functioning on my system, but right now the only thing it does is allows me to turn my system off lol |

Awww, sweet!
I'm going to check this out. If I have to downgrade to 2.4.18, this would be the main reason! (I only run 2.4.19 lol.. no big deal)
I'll report back once I get it figured out on how to put this in. |

Well, tried that patch, it went in and compiled great.
Unfortunately the command to initiate the sleep doesn't work lol...
ah well, I'll just wait. |

Ive ued swsusp before on my laptop, and had it working fine (mostly)..
remember to add the "resume=/dev/<swap device>" to your kernel command line, and use "echo -n 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep" to hibernate.
also, you might want to add a second copy of your kernel into lilo/grub with the "noresume" paramater in the kernel command line, in case the resume image gets screwed up.
