Hi,
In my Toshiba Laptop, I have a hybernation partition.(Linux fdisk can
recognise that partition). In that m/c, I use only Linux and whenever,
my battery backup goes off, the exact state of the cpu and the memory is
mirrored in that partition. Again, when I power it on, the exact state
is recovered. I have found that only, pcmcia lancard dies. Only, I have
to restart the service. I have tested that it can recover that state
from QuakeIII session. Another thing is that, all these things are done
by the Phonix-BIOS of my laptop.
more inputs are welcome
