I believe it should look like the one I attached (still not checked though).
Note there is "setsysfont </dev/tty0" in 60sysfont, I don't know why.

I don't use pm-utils but I suspect there *might* be other issues as well:
1) I'm not sure if keyboard map doesn't require resetting in 60setsysfont as well.
2) 90clock looks too suspicious as it doesn't make any difference between UTC and localtime
3) I'm not sure if (in)famous wrong filesystem mount time bug is not an issue with suspending/hibernation.
If anyone has comments about possible issues above - let me know (not in this bugreport).
On my side I'll check them in VirtualBox somewhere this month when I'll get more free time.

Roman, this is an FR for a setsysfont script. The other two issues you named are unrelated. Please add them to the appropriate bugs.

Regarding #1, that is how RH does it, and pm-utils have a few RedHatisms. Maybe it's better to look at OpenSuse's script? That might explain the redirection mentioned.

Other distributions other than Redhat and Mandriva also don't have this script. This is pure redhatism and is only used by pm-utils so far.

 FS#7537  is fixed, so I guess this one is "Won't implement"?
