The goad: compile you neat own kernel with Suspend2 (or any other patch)
prerequisits: get needed packages:
gcc, binutils, fakeroot, kernel-package, tk8.x, libqt3-dev, libncurses5-dev
1.get vanilla kernel sources: kernel.org → ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/
e.g.: linux-2.6.21.1.tar.bz2
save to directory /usr/src
2.unpack kernel using

4.Patch the kernel using
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.1
bzcat ../suspend2-2.2.10-for-2.6.21.1.patch.bz2 | patch -p1
5.configure the Kernel with
make xconfig
6.build the kernel with
make-kpkg kernel_image --revision 20070604.01
7.Install the kernel with
dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.21.1_20070604.01_amd64.deb
8.create the file suspend2.sh with the following content in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/
