I am trying to understand Suspend 2 and what I have to do to get it working in Centos 5. There is quite a bit for it at ATrpms:
http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/hibernate-suspend2/ http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/kernel-suspend2/
The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel?
I noticed that over at: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/
There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now).
So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2.
Thanks.

No, that's the kernel already built for you.
But note: There is a new kernel in build and new kmdl for that kernel, so you may want to hold off for 12-24h before installing. You can of course already install the 8.1.4 kernel and then let yum update (with the yum-plugin-kmdl) do its magic.

Yes, all kmdls are built for the vendor kernel and the suspend2 kernels.

Point yum to ATrpms and do
yum install kernel-suspend2
Boot into it and if you want some kmdl like madwifi do
yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`
If you want to do that before booting into the new kernel then replace `uname -r` with the uname-r-to-be.
OK. some follow-on questions.

I ASSuME there is nothing there that is RH specific and can be used with Centos. Afterall, I HAVE been doing this for madwifi...

Yeah, I gathered something is afoot. I have 2.6.18-8.1.4. But when I included the ATrpms repo, it was trying to install 2.6.20 something (or something similar).

Now I am 'confused'. is your first reference of 'uname -r' exactly what I am to enter? Or is there something I am to put in its place even after a reboot? And what is 'uname -r' ????

Yes, it's all 100% CentOS compatible.

Not on RHEL! Perhaps you accidentially used fc5 instead of el5? I had some users that did that.
yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`

No, with backticks `, not single quotation marks '

Copy and paste the following in your terminal:
uname -r echo This kernel's uname -r is: `uname -r` echo A kmdl package for this kernel would be called: foo-kmdl-`uname -r`

hmmm. I followed instructs to create the ATrpms.repo. I HOPE it was fro el5, not fc5! I will check when I reboot with that drive again. But definitely saw a 2.6.20 something or other kernel mod.
