The fact that phdisk.exe works means you should also be able to use the linux based lphdisk.... http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/ > Not only does the partition need to be the right size, it must be of the > right type, and then the utility tells the bios about the hibernation > partition.

The size needed is the size of your memory, plus the size of your video memory, plus a small amount for overhead. (rounding up a cylinder boundary worth is usually fine). The partition has to be of type a0 which linux fdisk calls "Thinkpad hibernate". Hey, that reminds me, I ought to file a bug with the fdisk maintainers, that ought to be "Phoenix hibernate". > But it should still suspend to dram nicely. > > KG Anyways, hope that helps :) * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
