As far as I know, the hibernation feature has been asked for by users since iLiad came to the world, but I never saw any publicly announced efforts, no matter the results, to deal with this problem. I did saw some threads in the forum (or somewhere else) discussed why it's possible (or impossible) to implement hibernation on iLiad, but such assertion is to be evaluated. According to iRex, iLiad's hardware doesn't support hibernation.

Thank you very much for the links. and the background that I didn't have. According to iRex they were talking about stablity issues with a subspend and a throttling back of the CPU and other resources. I wonder if that ever happened. Since it was in FirmWare 2.7 during the articles.

I also have read of a 2.6 kernal hack that will boot 2.6 over 2.4 or some patches to patch the 2.4 kernal to 2.6

I also wonder about iRex's non involvement to keep the developers happy or more motivated to work on there iLiads. Why aren't they pushing this atleast from the back ground with pats on the back and evanglists?
