Kernel Configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If needed, enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the
|
||||||
|
kernel:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Power management and ACPI options --->
|
||||||
|
<*> Suspend to RAM and standby [CONFIG_SUSPEND]
|
||||||
|
<*> Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk') [CONFIG_HIBERNATION]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suspend to RAM allows the system to enter sleep states in which main memory is
|
||||||
|
powered and thus its contents are preserved. The method cuts power to most parts of
|
||||||
|
the machine aside from the RAM. Because of the large power savings, it is advisable
|
||||||
|
for laptops to automatically enter this mode when the computer is running on
|
||||||
|
batteries and the lid is closed (or the user is inactive for some time).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suspend to disk (Hibernation) saves the machine's state into swap space and
|
||||||
|
completely powers off the machine. When the machine is powered on, the state is
|
||||||
|
restored. Until then, there is zero power consumption. Suspend to RAM and hibernation
|
||||||
|
are normally appropriate for portable devices such as laptops, but can be used on
|
||||||
|
workstations. The capability is not really appropriate for servers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use hibernation, the kernel parameter resume=/dev/<swap_partition> has to be
|
||||||
|
used on the kernel command line (in grub.cfg). The swap partition should be at least
|
||||||
|
the size of the physical RAM on the system.
