Hi,

I made a page describing snapshot boot. Patch and instructions are available here:

http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/SuspendToDiskForARM

Snapshot boot is essentially a resume-from-disk operation, which is a system resume from a semi-permanent snapshot image stored on flash memory for OSK5912, that restores the machine to a known running state. As opposed to a standard resume operation, a snapshot image is made only once, stored on flash memory, and same image is used repeatedly, every time the system is powered on.

The purpose of this is to achieve faster startup time of linux on OSK5912. It is still OSK5912 specific, but would like to hear comments.

Best Regards,
