---help---
|

|
|
"Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut
|
||
|
|
off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not
|
||
|
|
being used. There are two competing standards for doing this: APM
|
||
|
|
and ACPI. If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also
|
||
|
|
to the requisite support below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop
|
||
|
|
computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home
|
||
|
|
page on the WWW at <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/> or
|
||
|
|
Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at <http://www.tuxmobil.org/>
|
||
|
|
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
||
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture
|
||
|
|
will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby
|
||
|
|
sending the processor to sleep and saving power.

---help---
|

|
|
This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
|
||
|
|
code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
|
||
|
|
like suspend support.

config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
|

---help---

Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
|
||
|
|
It doesn't need APM.
|
||
|
|
You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>'
|
||
|
|
(patch for sysvinit needed).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next
|
||
|
|
boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
|
||
|
|
have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
|
||
|
|
continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
|
||
|
|
be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note
|
||
|
|
that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap
|
||
|
|
partitions. It does not work with swap files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
|
||
|
|
in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
|
||
|
|
involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
|
||
|
|
on disk won't match with saved ones.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.

config PM_STD_PARTITION
|

|
|
string "Default resume partition"

depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND

default ""
|

|
---help---
|
||
|
|
The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
|
||
|
|
to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
|
||
|
|
It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
|
||
|
|
on before suspending.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
resume=/dev/<other device>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
|
||
|
|
suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
|
||
|
|
device.
