Re[2]: [LIB] Hardware hibernation in L110

I just found it strange that 100 hibernated when battery died (and screwed my OS in process), while 110 simply shuts down. Not a big deal, because XP hibernation is faster. The whole purpose of the excersize was to make sure that this time I got the partitioning right. I think Win2K will only hibernate using BIOS when battery power is exhausted. As I understand it, Win'2K *cannot* do a BIOS hibernate. Also, Win'2K cannot intercept the hardware hibernate - no OS can. So, your Libretto gets too hot and does a thermal shutdown - there are no options for this, you can't configure it to do something else instead, and you can't disable it. It just hibernates where the BIOS thinks the end of the HDD is, even if that is actually in the middle of your drive, and no matter if that space is reserved for the hibernation dump or filled with your precious data. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Alarm settings were disabled, plus the OS was using the space that the BIOS regards as the hibernation zone? Yes, only OS was XP- almost the same thing as 2000 On the later system, are you saying it won't attempt to hibernate, or that it tries to hibernate but does not succeed? On 110 it doesn't try, just shuts down. BTW for me, the easiest way to do a BIOS hibernate (for hibernation space testing purposes, etc) is to boot from a floppy to a DOS prompt, then switch off with the power button in the lid. I powered L110 off during the OS selection menu and it hibernated OK. Looks like I am safe, but to be sure I think, I will have to fill up both partitions, hibernate, and run scandisk. I still have doubts about the crash of the old L100. I had the largest possible first partition with Win98 and second partition with XP. After hibernation XP was dead. But shouldn't the hibernation data be written in the end of the first partition, not in the beginning of the second one? Or may be my first partition was a little smaller and second one started a little earlier? ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

It writes data to a specific location (specifically a specific cylinder number) in the disk no matter how the disk is partitioned. When create a partition that includes that location, the BIOS hibernation will overwrite that partition data. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
