Suspend to RAM as always been a pain in my various trials, but this is a much simpler goal than a complete laptop. Virtually no device to take down/bring up on a pure streamdev client. NFS handles must just survive the long delay, but it should be OK.
7 seconds until I get a picture on my EPIA 6000. And this is still pretty long, as I need to upload DXR3 firmware first, then start VDR.
This also works around an annoying bug in the (non-upgraded) EPIA BIOS: the PXE LAN boot does not always initialize the network interface after a shutdown. One have to unplug power to boot correctly next time...
Current via-rhine drivers have a module option to fix this: via-rhine.avoid_D3=1 For older kernes there's a patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/9/17/242
