[mythtv-users] OT: suspend to disc....

[Jules Gosnell]

I try not to leave unnecessary electrical stuff running overnight, but 
my mythfrontend takes quite a while to boot/shutdown.

I have been looking at what it would take to be able to suspend-to and 
resume-from disc.

It's a Via Epia Ezra (i586) running FC3 with the latest FC3 kernel.

This looks like the best option - http://www.suspend2.net/ - but 
involves custom built and patched kernels and no doubt a long time spent 
tailoring scripts to unload drivers before shutting down and reload them 
after starting up....

I was wondering if anyone else was doing this sort of thing with their 
myth-frontend box and what their experiences had been....

Thanks for your time,


Jules
