Perhaps you can elaborate your plans :-) 1)As I see in CONFIG_HIBERNATION comment: "In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available". And it's implemented on platforms w/o ACPI like MIPS. So it seems to me that it doesn't require special hardware support, but exceptions are possible.. 2)During the second boot hibernation does the normal boot (it initializes hardware in its normal way - standard initcalls). The only exeption is "late_initcall(software_resume)" which resumes the memory, but it is executed after hardware is initialized. --- We are talking about hibernation, it's different from "suspend to RAM" operation. "Suspend to RAM" requires hardware support.
