It would be easier to help you if you gave details on your hardware, and how you're triggering the suspend. I should note that knoppix (or any other livecd distro) won't be capable of suspend-to-disk (hibernation as windows calls it); hibernation involves saving all state to disk and doing a full power off, and when the whole point of the distro is to _not_ use the disk, you clearly can't do this. Suspend-to-ram should work however, and on most hardware should power down the hdd and fans. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
