Hi all,

Thanks for your replies.

Bhaskar: I cannot switch to the terminal with Alt+F1 or any other virtual terminal for that.

Kevin: I used the raw (low-level) program s2disk and s2ram for it but they do the same thing as the powersave script, which additionally removes some kernel modules.

Joe: I installed hibernate, but with the same result. May be you can suggest me the configs you made for making it work for you.

regards,
Hardik
