State of suspend-to-ram?

Hi all!

First of all: Sorry, this is the wrong mailing list, but I searched a =
lot and found none that would fit to PPC user-related problems -- =
linux-ppc would have been one but this one seems to be dead since 2004?!

I've a G4 based Mac mini and would like to suspend it to RAM, though the =
vanilla kernel doesn't allow me to do this (/sys/power/state mentions =
only "disk"). The reason for this is my platform is marked as =
PMAC_MB_MAY_SLEEP instead of PMAC_MB_CAN_SLEEP in =
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/feature.c. So I changed that to be =
PMAC_MB_CAN_SLEEP and was able to suspend the system using the =
pm-suspend script from the pm-utils suite. The LED on the front was =
pulsing like it is when suspended under MacOS X. After pushing the power =
button the system started to resume but just got stuck. I see no =
messages on the console, nothing in syslog. So I assume the system =
panics pretty early in the resume path. Because the system has no serial =
console the debug capabilities are fairly limited. Any hints why this =
doesn't work or how to debug this any further?
