For the record. Hibernation using /usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk on a type 0x16 (OS/2 hidden) partition works just fine for a ThinkPad T23 dual-booting OpenBSD and Windows XP. Even if the hibernation partition is not the first on the disk, which is good because XP wants to be the first on the disk. It is apparently a Phoenix BIOS in disguise. XP does not use BIOS hibernation. It implements it on its own. I still think hibernation without BIOS support (to swap) would be a nifty feature, but realize laptops are not the primary target for OpenBSD (laptops are still cool to boast with). > > > On Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 06:21:39PM +0200, Artur Grabowski wrote: > > "Vim Visual" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > "How are the chances that "suspend" is implemented in ACPI for > > > 4.2??" > > > > 1% > > > > I had a prototype almost working at one point, messed it up without > > saving the working version, then never had time or energy to go back > > to it and noone else has picked it up. > > > > //art > > -- > > / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
