[TuxOnIce-users] Problem hibernating on system that worked for ages

Sun Sep 12 11:33:18 UTC 2010

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion, the older version still works, so it's either
caused by .41->.42 or by toi 3.1.1.1->3.2rc2. I am currently building a
kernel with -24.42 and tuxonice 3.1.1.1 to determine if that still allows me
to hibernate, let's see...

Thanks... Dominik.
