-Encrypted suspend image:
-------------------------
-If you want to store your suspend image encrypted with a temporary
-key to prevent data gathering after resume you must compile
-crypto and the aes algorithm into the kernel - modules won't work
-as they cannot be loaded at resume time.
+. If you have SATA disks, you'll need recent kernels with SATA suspend
+support. For suspend and resume to work, make sure your disk drivers
+are built into kernel -- not modules. [There's way to make
+suspend/resume with modular disk drivers, see FAQ, but you should
+better not do that.]

+Q: How can RH ship a swsusp-supporting kernel with modular SATA

+A: Well, it can be done, load the drivers, then do echo into resume
+file from initrd. Be sure not to mount anything, not even read-only
+mount, or you are going to loose your filesystem same way Dave Jones
