The option that I choose in windows is stand-by.  Is there another
option that I can enable for hibernate.  Would hibernate give me what
I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help,

Try pressing shift at that screen and see if standby changes to 
hibernate.  If not search windows help for information on setting up 
hibernate.

Yes.  Standby in Windows is just sleep mode, aka suspend-to-RAM. 
You're looking for hibernate, aka suspend-to-disk.

You can simply change the behavior of the power button to
hibernate at the control panel, that was the easiest way to anchieve
that in my laptop, but I didn't know about the shift trick, thanks
Anthony.

Yes, the system would hibernate and at the next power up the system
would effectively boot, not just wake up, and you would get the lilo
boot.



Thanks for the help,

All -

Thanks for the tips...I went into the power control settings in the
control panel and enabled hibernation.  Now when I shutdown there is
an option to hibernate.  Thanks for the help everyone.

Please return to your regularly scheduled Linux discussions  :)

[gentoo-user] System Suspend...kind of OT

2006-05-31 Thread James Colby

List members -

I have a laptop that I dual boot with windows and gentoo.  My gentoo
installation has software suspend working.  When I run the hibernate
script the system hibernates and then powers down.  When I press the
power button on my laptop I am then presented with my lilo boot menu
and I can choose Gentoo, and resume my session.

Now when I boot into windows and I suspend my session...the session
suspends and my system powers off.  When I press the power button the
system automatically resumes my windows session and I am never
presented with the lilo menu.  Is there a change that I could make to
my windows suspend options so that when I press the power button I am
presented with the lilo boot menu and I can choose to resume either
windows or gentoo.

Thanks for any input that you may have, and I apologize if this is too
off topic for this list.
