I always created a small MSDOS partiton on the 560, and even put on a small MSDOS system, based on the WIN98 starup disk. I believe the hiberate feature will only work to an MSDOS partition. I think I used an MSDOS-based Thinkpad utility to create the hiberbation file, it's been quite a long time. And, under linux, to get suspend working correctly you must: insmod floppy rmmod floppy Prior to suspending. Also, if sound was loaded, it must be removed as well, otherwise you will get very strange results, like sounds being echoed 8 times, etc. I used Debian 2.0 for about a year on the 560 when I got started with LINUX, but switched to RH 7.1 when I bought "The Linux Bible", so I'm a little out of touch with the state of Debian these days.
