while five of the six dell laptops that i support are very happy with the so-called suspend-to-disk partition (hibernate partition), the sixth is acting up. it's a latitude C610 which, according to Dell, supports up to 1 Gb of RAM. this particular one actually contains 1 Gb of RAM. when i try to initialize the s2d partition, dell's very own tool (the latest version) complains that it does not support systems with more than 768 Mb or RAM. dell's answer: install windoze 2000. i didn't expect the answer to be otherwise. so this is just a warning. even though i am on the side of the happy and satisfied dell users, this is ridiculous. anyone want to help reverse engineer dell's s2d partitions so that we can create linux tool that is capable of managing them from within linux (i don't see why you couldn't do this on a running system). btw: for all that don't have suspend-to-disk capabilities, there is the swsusp patch[1], although 2.4.10 seems to be the last 2.4.x kernel that's included. 1. http://falcon.sch.bme.hu/~seasons/linux/swsusp.html have people experimented with this patch? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "driving with a destination is like having sex to have children" -- backwater wayne miller
