I have hibernation set up on my laptop and am just wondering if there

while I have windows xp running in vmware and still have it exactly how
I left it when I power back on? I will probably try it soon anyway but
just wondering if anyone else out there has more experience.
I have done this, but end up rebooting the vmware session every time I
try, because I move around to different networks and the networking
between linux and XP gets confused. So generally I'd recommend
suspending the virtual machine with vmware's suspend function first,
and then hibernate.
You are right, it kills the vmware machine on hibernate. I just tried
it. Oh well, at least it doesn't freeze. I'll try that vmware suspend
function.
vmware uses Alsa, no? I see no way you can keep sound apps running if
you have to unload the alsa module before hibernating.
