I am attempting to merge the 2.1 fixes back into 2.0, but some things
got changed behind my back and I haven't had time yet ...

Well in some ways, hibernation falls outside the APM spec and
seems to have been implemented in different ways by different
manufacturers. Unfortunately some of these depend on DOS and or
Win9x is mysterious ways. I have NEVER got a laptop to hibernate
when running linux - however, others have.
My usual solution is either not to use suspend at all, or switch
off hibernation in the BIOS (so suspend works, but doesn't
completely shut the machine down).

Sorry, not much help ...
