CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y, ACPI, and uswsusp

I am attempting to get uswsusp working on my Debian Sid machine. After
reading the docs, a couple of SuSe web pages
(http://en.opensuse.org/S2disk) regarding s2ram and s2disk I am stuck on
one detail: CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y. I can not find this kernel option
anywhere when attempting to configure the kernel. Whether it's the
debian 2.6.18 source or the kernel.org 2.6.20 source; can't be found.
Not under the ACPI options, nor the CPU frequency scaling options.

Attempting to dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp results in:

Your kernel doesn't support userspace software
suspend

Your kernel doesn't support userspace sofware suspend. Please
reconfigure your kernel to include
CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y and recompile.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

By the way, the hardware is an Asus A8N-SLI desktop motherboard.

Thanks.

In 2.6.18, it's under 'Power Management Options'. Check 'Software
Suspend'.

I'm sorry for being slightly offtopic, but how can I know if my PC supports suspend-to-disk?I frequently have several programs open and I sometimes keep the PC on overnight in order to have the same open programs in the morning. It would be better on the environment if I always powered down the computer.

The only way to find out is to try it.
The Debian stock kernel has suspend turned on.
The documentation text file I attached.

There is an "improved" version that needs a patch to the kernel:
http://www.suspend2.net/
has a well attended to mailing list. Active support.

I found that suspend from X did not work for me, at least it would not
resume right.

After diddling with it for a couple of months, I gave up.

No. It is not. That's why I went to the trouble of downloading 2.6.20
from kernel.org. These are my options in either kernel:
[*] Power Management support
? ? [*] Legacy Power Management API (DEPRECATED)
? ? [ ] Power Management Debug Support
? ? [ ] Driver model /sys/devices/.../power/state files (DEPRECATED) (NEW)
? ? ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
? ? APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support --->
? ? CPU Frequency scaling --->

And under ACPI:

[*] ACPI Support
? ? < > AC Adapter
? ? < > Battery
? ? <*> Button
? ? < > Video
? ? < > Generic Hotkey (EXPERIMENTAL)
? ? <*> Fan
? ? < > Dock

? ? [ ] Debug Statements
? ? < > ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
? ? < > Smart Battery System (EXPERIMENTAL)
? ?

Now, the only thing I can think of is in regards to the error message I
get whenever a new version of uwsusp get installed, which is:

Configuring uswsusp
?
? Your kernel doesn't support userspace software suspend
?
? Your kernel doesn't support userspace sofware suspend. Please
reconfigure your kernel to include
? CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y and recompile.
?
?

So, how come software suspend is not listed under my kernel options??

Well, like many kernel options, it does depend on other things. For
example, if swap (General Setup / support for paging anonymous memory
(swap)) isn't enabled, you won't get an option for software suspend.

That option is enabled. Any other suggestions? Where did you find the
aforementioned documentation?

In /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/kernel/power/Kconfig (on my system).
Check everything in the 'depends' line.

I posted clearly that those options were not available and even copied
over the menuconfig screen in my previous post. So, you telling me that
the options are there helps me little. What I am asking (and, yes, I did
try Google) is: I'm I misconfiguring the kernel config in such a way
that those options don't show up?

Here:

#
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
#
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_PM_LEGACY=y
# CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set

#
# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
#
CONFIG_ACPI=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_AC is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y

CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y

CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER is not set

See? No options for software suspend.

You posted the 'menuconfig screen' I posted the config file. Did you
compare your config file with what I posted?

1. The kernel config file in /boot/config-{version} shows all of the
config options that are available. Those you configured and those
that you didn't.

2. If you had the same kernel and headers that I have, both of our
config files would have the same number of entries weither we
configurd them the same or not. The only differences would be
=y, =m, or is not set, after the options.

The config I posted was from

linux-source-2.6.18 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
Linux kernel source for version 2.6.18 with Debian patche

linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 Header files
for Linux 2.6.18 on AMD K7

If we are both using the _same_ kernel source and headers then I sure
don't what is wrong.

Yikes! My apologies Wayne. After rereading my post, it really sounds
like a smart ass reply. I really did mean it in a most factual way;
stating that I did try to find a solution, on my own, before posting to
the list.

Sincerely,

I considered high memory having an effect on this issue; I did have it
enabled since my machine has 2 gigs of ram. Disabling the 4 gig option
has no effect.

Anybody else have any other suggestions?

No one?

Would someone be able post or email a .config (2.16.17 or greater) that
has software suspend option enabled?

Why don't you just see the .config from a stock Debian kernel?

Last try

1. cd /usr/src/linux
less .config

Post the section starting with
#
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
#

2. Tell us what kernel source you are using.
ie dpkg -l linux-kernel |grep ^i

3. aptitude install linux-kernel-{whatever version you want} from
{whichever dist you are using}

Please reconfigure your Icedove mail headers. You don't need to send

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source

That command returns:
phobos:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18# dpkg -l linux-kernel |grep ^i

No packages found matching linux-kernel.

I am using the Debian kernel source 2.6.18. Got that from: apt-get
install linux-source-2.6.18.

Huh? Please elaborate. Did you mean kernel-image-{whatever-version-I-want}?

Sorry about that. Done.

I really appreciate your help with this.

Ahh. This is a self compiled kernel. Debian Kernel has mostly
everything set as modules. I have 5 different 2.6.28 debian lernels
here and just checked all of them. in the ACPI section there are only
2 items that are 'not set'.
# CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set

I would suggest you try a kernel-image kernel-image-2.6-(386/686/k7)
depending on your processor.

Yes, because I didn't proof read my message.. :-(

I meant to say - dpkg -l linux-source* |grep ^i

here is what I show on my desktop

VT1 root-3-TESTING:~# dpkg -l linux-source* |grep ^i
ii linux-source-2.6.18 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 Linux kernel source for
version 2.6.18

and

VT1 root-3-TESTING:~# dpkg -l linux-headers* |grep ^i
ii linux-headers-2.6.18-4 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 Common
header files for Linux 2.6.18
ii linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 Header
files for Linux 2.6.18 on AMD K7

Notice I have two (2) kernel header files. the K7 headers are used
because I have an athlon processor on my desktop. My laptop needs
linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 file instead of the -K7 headers.

And you installed which linux-header file(s) before you tried to
configure that kernel? If your answer is none, that probably is what
caused your original problem.

If you are compiling your own kernel, which it seems you are (or were)
you will be working with a linux-source-2.6.18 package. If you are a
newbie, I would suggest you get your feet wet first and install an
image file instad of the source. They are built to run on a 386 and
up, do not require you to configure/compile them, and will just work.
All but some (required to boot) options are compiled as modules.

Hope the abobe is clear and free of typo's. Its late but I think I
caught them all.
