I am trying to get software suspend to work with Mandrake 9.2. It is
compiled into the kernel, although documentation is scant. The script to
run is apparently "pmsuspend2". I have increased my swap space (/dev/hda6),
but still get the message:

"need to specify "resume=/dev/hda6" at kernel booting".

It goes no further. I assumed that I would have to add that line to
lilo.conf, which I did, but I get the same message when I rerun
"pmsuspend2". I am assuming that perhaps I need to reboot first for the
resume command to take effect?

Does anyone out there successfully use "pmsuspend2" and how is it?

For a command in lilo.conf to take effect, you must run /sbin/lilo and
then reboot.
