I did. It (2.6.15) didn't. Between 2.6.10 and 2.6.15 the
suspend API changed. It was documented that it would change
and break things and so it did. Is that what "stable" is
about ?

kernel 2.0/2.1 ?
Debian stable/testing/unstable ?
FreeBSD 5.5/FreeBSD 6.2 ?

I was asking for a stable kernel, like 2.4, 2.2, 2.0 were
before. 2.6 is not. It's a great kernel, better than that
of MacOS X, I never said you were doing a bad job, quite
the contrary. I wouldn't be using Linux since 10 years if I
thought it stinks. I never asked support for closed source
drivers, only a stable kernel.
Whatever "stable" means.
