I also use nouveau, but what I'm using right now to suspend is: % cat /usr/bin/local_s2disk.sh #!/usr/bin/env sh echo "Suspending to Disk NOW..." sync swapoff -a swapon -a netcfg -a acpitool -S netcfg-menu I believe "acpitool -S" does a direct write of "disk" to /sys/power/state, but I prefer acpitool, and I've been using it for quiet a while, :-) I also have: % 'grep' resume /etc/mkinitcpio.conf HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb filesystems keymap usbinput resume" % 'grep' resume /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/sda5" And I still get the misbehavior when attempting to suspend some times. As a side note, I wanted to use the UUID format to specify the swap partition to grab the image from which to resume, which works for me on debian. But on arch I'm not sure if it's due to the initrd image generated, or the way the kernel is compiled, but it doesn't work, I have to specify plain partition... Not sure if any one has tried using UUID instead. -- Javier.
