Has anyone managed to acomplish this yet? it seems that lirc doesn't come back cleanly, either!

What about stopping VDR, unloading DVB and LIRC before suspend, and loading them after wakeup again?

That's the sort of thing I'm testing now. For some bizarre reason, lirc just refuses to work even if I set hibernate to stop it, unload the modules, and then reload them and restart lircd after coming back up (irw connects but doesn't give any response). Bizarrely, if I then stop, unload, load, and restart by hand, it then works (I _think_: was trying lots of different combinations!).

If I don't stop vdr, it does come back up, of a fashion: it refuses svdrp connections which it was letting before suspend. As I haven't got lirc going yet, can't tell if it listens to that. If there is an active timer, it does not generate any files but continually restarts and generates lots of zero length files (must try that patch from a few days back...). Setting it to stop and restart vdr has the same effect, although for some strange reason, it never finishes my startup script. Another thing which needs looking into...

After some searching, I found some patches for the dvb drivers to make them work with suspend, and that the cvs drivers did work with software suspend. I tried the cvs drivers but get the same sort of effects.

I have yet to increase the verbosity of what hibernate is doing but it looks like my dvb card (a very old Nova-T) doesn't tune after suspending, although I need to check with dvbtune, dvbstream, etc.

This will be so good, if it all works: boots in about 5 s!
