		+	== libata and suspend2 ==
		+
		+	I can't get suspend for a long time. After getting libata working (Gentoo no-sources 2.6.18) it works perfect and fast. It do not need, in my case, extra_page_allowance.
		+
		+	I'm not sure is it only on my notebook and I'd like to informe about it without changing main page.

		+
		+	Damn, you got me there, indeed just ripping out the cord works fine. ;)
		+
		+	And a small battery (having the 9-cell myself) with controlled charging would be nice, I second that, at least as mini-UPS for the (luckily not many in my area) times when there's a power outage.

		+
		+	If you unplug the power cord and don't have a bettery, it will power off by itself quite nicely. :-)
		+
		+	BTW, I likewise often work without a battery, both to avoid battery wear at full charge (we must find a way to control the charge threshold!) and to reduce weight. I wish there was some kind of light, low-capacity battery available, both to plug the gaping hole in the back and for the all-too-frequent accidents when I clumsily unplug the power cord. I wonder if this can be achieved surgically. The 6-cell battery have 3 cells in serial times 2 in parallel, so maybe one can take a used 6-cell battery and yank out 3 cells (and for best effect also replace the 3 remaining ones with 3 small low-capacity Li-Ion cells). Heck, even an empty 6-cell shell would be better than nothing.

		+
		+	it doesn't shutdown the machine as in power off, but I meant it's a workaround in case you actually want to hibernate, remove the power cord (I almost never have the battery inserted, sockets almost everywhere I am) and walk away without having to press the power button to manually power off the machine.
		+
		+	but of course, that's not really equivalent to powering off and does consume power.

		+
		+	Are you sure "PowerdownMethod 3" really shuts down your machine? Here it does suspend to RAM, like it should, giving a Redisafe-like behavior (which is quite useful by itself, but consumers non-zero power.)

		+
		+	Once I have time and scheduled IBM to replace my harddisk (the whining sounds it makes is really getting on my nerves, why get a 5400rpm drive if it's that loud?) I'll probably setup the system with ext3 and reinstall from the latest backup. Not using the filewriter btw.
		+
		+	Regarding the power off issue, changing the PoweroffMethod to 3 helps. Oh, and does your machine beep at suspend and resume (once each time) and didn't with older suspend2 versions? Mine did. Oh well, doesn't matter atm.

		+
		+	Oh, and I get that power off issue too, but it otherwise works and I didn't try enabling debug. I'm using ext3 in this machine (it got the most testing, so probably a good choice given all the oddball software and hardware in laptops). Are you using the file writer to hibernate to a file on xfs? There was a recent post by the developer about this being broken.
