Your hda2 and hda4 overlap with it. Better be conservative and reserve more space (before and after) for the hibernation area. A few 8 MB cylinders more or less is peanuts on a 30 GB HD. > ---- space for hibernation from 1018 to 1024 ---- > hda4 1025 3648 (~20GB) (that's extended partition) > hda5........ > > In the free space there was in the begining partition of type 0 (empty), but I > deleted it because I thought that it was the problem, and now I know it still > doesn't work. > > ps. there's no increase in drive speed (tested with `hdparm -tT /dev/hda`), > this new drive is 5400rpm with 8MB cache... > I get: > ~45MB/s buffer-cache reads, > ~3.5MB/s buffered disk reads. Be content with it. ISA bus, no dma support (see a few posts back in the list archives, http://www.technoir.nu/libretto/list/ ) > -- > Daniel Fenert --==> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <==-- P.
