    Try to mail Nigel Cunningham, TOI author.

    Hello,

    With pf-kernel 3.2.2, my system didn't boot at all (Debian wheezy/sid with nVidia on P5QC, duo CPU, RAM 4Gb). I remember that there was such an issue with some of the previous versions too. This time, I extracted and applied its TOI part and the kernel worked seamlessly. So, there should be something wrong with one of the other patches (except for the main patch, of course). Sorry that I couldn't provide more information.

    BTW, after extracting the TOI part, I appreciated your work more than before.

    An excellent patchset. As always, there's a million and one projects out there for Linux (and some are about as out there as you can get), so having a sane subset for a recent kernel is extremely useful.

    @tsujan: I've sent several letters to Nigel, TuxOnIce author, concerning this issue. Hope, he has read them.

    Here, in Debian Wheezy, TOI hibernation is broken with pf-kernel 2.6.39-pf4. I know that's not your fault but I thought you might want to know this:

    With preemptiion enabled, waking from hibernation results in a kernel failure and TOI doesn't work afterward. Without preemption, the system doesn't wake up at all. I reversed to pf3 for now.
