I am trying to understand Suspend 2 and what I have to do to get it working in Centos 5. There is quite a bit for it at ATrpms:

http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/hibernate-suspend2/
http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/kernel-suspend2/

The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel?

No, that's the kernel already built for you.
I ASSuME there is nothing there that is RH specific and can be used with Centos. Afterall, I HAVE been doing this for madwifi...
But note: There is a new kernel in build and new kmdl for that kernel,
so you may want to hold off for 12-24h before installing. You can of
course already install the 8.1.4 kernel and then let yum update (with
the yum-plugin-kmdl) do its magic.
Yeah, I gathered something is afoot. I have 2.6.18-8.1.4. But when I included the ATrpms repo, it was trying to install 2.6.20 something (or something similar).
I noticed that over at:  http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/

There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now).

Yes, all kmdls are built for the vendor kernel and the suspend2 kernels.

So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2.

Point yum to ATrpms and do

yum install kernel-suspend2

Boot into it and if you want some kmdl like madwifi do

yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`

If you want to do that before booting into the new kernel then replace
`uname -r` with the uname-r-to-be.
Now I am 'confused'. is your first reference of 'uname -r' exactly what I am to enter? Or is there something I am to put in its place even after a reboot? And what is 'uname -r' ????
