I was hoping to implement ACPI S4 on my workstation. I have read through the mailing list, and I am confused as to the requirments for S4. Do I need a partition designated to dump my memory for S4 to resume? My system is a VIA C3 based system, and is a workstation, not a laptop. acpiconfig shows that I can do S1,S4 and S5. When I execute apiconfig -s S4 (or S4OS or S4BIOS) the system appears to write something to disk, then shutsdown just fine. However, when I restart, the system does a normal boot up sequence. I haven't created a parition, and I haven't seen any instructions in the FreeBSD that said I should create a partition. May I should just look at the acpiconf code.... :) I guess most people who use acpi are laptop users, and the mailing list threads seem to be from laptop users who have pre-configured disk partitions from the laptop manufacturer. So, back to the question, is it mandatory or not to have a dedication resume partition defined on my disk? Thank you. Larry P. Maloney __________________________________ Yahoo!
