It may be ugly, it may be unmaintained, but I get the impression that it
works for some people for whom swsusp doesn't. So unless swsusp works for
everyone or Nigel's swsusp2 is merged, I'd suggest leaving that in.

Do you have example when pmdisk works and swsusp does not? I'm not
aware of any in recent history...

For me, none of them (pmdisk, swsusp and swsusp2) work. I did manage
to get pmdisk to resume once, and swsusp2 makes it half-way through
the resume.

Hate to hear this - 2.0 is said to work _flawlessly_ on 2.4.24 and
on 2.6.2 within the bounds of more complex PM/driver issues.

2.4.25 and 2.6.3 patches are undergoing testing.

If you like to try again, please have a look at http://swsusp.sf.net.

There is also comprehensive FAQ and Howto on the site.

You also will find a lot of user support wrt specific HW.

Myself is running 2.0 on 2.4.2[345] without any stability issues
whatsoever this year.

In short, I am confident we can make it work for you!

Michael
