Hi Patrick,
Yes, I unload the DVB drivers before suspending and reload them after resuming. Because of the firmware load of the DVB-USB-devices (after firmware load they do a soft-reboot and appear as a "new" device) I had to add a small delay of 3 seconds, that's what I meant by quirk.
Thanks for sharing your experience. That's very interesting because I'm trying to improve the boot-time of my VDR for some months.
Would a hibernated PC wake up by Wake-on-LAN or Wake-on-Ring?
If you have it enabled in your bios, yes.
Software Suspend2 is software based. It can but it does not need ACPI-sleep-modes from the bios. It dumps the memory to the harddisk and does a normal power-off.
When you boot the machine it loads the kernel normally and then it restores the memory from the harddisk.
I'm using the filewriter, so I don't need to repair the swap-space afterwards.
You just have to take care about incompatible modules (DVB) and services (VDR, because it depends on DVB). The hibernate-script (which I would highly recommend to manage software-suspend) is a very good help to work around quirks.
Patrick.
