Hello!
As suspend/resume doesn't work with the kernel shipped with
Dapper, I'd like to try using the suspend2 kernel patch from
<http://suspend2.net/>. But the patch cannot be applied cleanly
against the Ubuntu sources.
Because of that, I'd like to use a vanilla kernel. But the
Ubuntu patches are there for a reason, I'd suppose. Is this
reason documented somewhere? Or, put differently, what do the
Ubuntu patches add to the vanilla kernel and what's not going
to work anymore after using a vanilla kernel?
I don't know much about kernel, but I recently had to compile mine to
get my iPod working (it's still not working, thanks for asking) and I do
have a little piece of wisdom:
You can have more than one kernel installed at the time. Don't uninstall
your current kernel, just install your compiled one in addition. If your
compiled one doesn't work, reboot and use the old one!!
That said, I think your best bet is to try the vanilla kernel and see
for yourself what breaks.
