I read
http://www.suse.de/~garloff/TravelMate/
with these paragraphs:

| Notebook in a low power mode. This can be achieved by Fn-F3, by closing
| the lid or entering apm -S. However Hibernate (Suspend to disk), to be
| activated by Fn-F4 (or apm -s)does not work as supposed. If a suspend
| file has been created by the W*n9x sleepmgr, then the BIOS does write
| the RAM onto the disk, like with W*n98 operation. However, those blocks
| are unreadable afterwards!! The resume operation takes two hours of
| funny disk noise to no avail. The disk contains CRC errors afterwards!!
| Fortunately those can be recovered by writing to the damaged locations
| using dd or dd_rescue.

Do you use hibernation with Windows 98 and Debian 2.2?
