I'm using Slack 10 with 2.4.26 though I think there won't much difference
between slack and debian when talking about kernel, I do have config file
but it's a bit lengthy.  See my notebook is incompatible with APM and ACPI
suspension and I found this software suspension equal or closer enuf to as
hibernation which is not in official kernel source tree yet.

I patched compiled however (created partition, though i liked file
better cuz of flexibility). It was quite good at first glance cuz it
worked as it claimed.  in x session, system hibernated and turned off,
when turned on it got me right back to where i was before, the x session.
but then my usb and modem doesn't work anymore after resume.  So, before
hibernation and after resume are not the quite same ;\
