Dear Ronald, I have a Dell Inspiron 5000 (500 Mhz PIII). I put the suspend-to-disk partition as my last primary partion, right at the end. I have a dual boot machine with Windows 2000 and Debian (used to be triple boot with FreeBSD). My suspend works fine. When my machine enters hibernation mode in Linux, it uses a BIOS utility (It's a Phoenix BIOS.). When I restart my machine, instead of getting LILO, the BIOS utility restores my machine to Linux. However, when I enter the hibernation mode in W2K, I always get LILO on rebooting.
Also, since I can enter hibernation mode both from W2K (W2K first and then Linux. The reverse does not work.) and then from Linux (after choosing Linux from LILO on reboot.), I think W2K writes the memory to a file on its partition, whereas Linux writes it to the last partition I created for the purpose. So I really don't know if you can use a file on a Windows partition. Here's what I used to create my hibernation partition: http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/ -Andy Saxena ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland Bauerschmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 11, 2000 5:30 PM Subject: hibernation mode does not work > [ Please CC any answers to me -- I am not subscribed to this list ] > > Hello, > > I could get the hibernation mode to work on my laptop here.
