[ltp] ACPI on T40

[Alexander Naumann]

Ok, let's start.
Download the 2.6.8.1-kernel (or a newer one).
Also download the newest acpi-Patch from acpi.sourceforge.net.
Also download the Software-Suspend-2-Patch.
Patch the kernel, activate ACPI (and everything that belongs to ACPI and your laptop).
In lilo.conf add append="resume2=swap:/dev/hda9" to your configuration.
Reboot.
Install ibm_acpi (http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ibm-acpi/ibm-acpi-0.4.tar.gz)
To hibernate you only have to start the "hibernate"-script as root.
I hope this will help you.
You can ask me, if you have further questions.
