Re: hibernation mode does not work
Dear Ronald,
I have a Dell Inspiron 5000 (500 Mhz PIII). I put the suspend-to-disk
partition as my last primary partion, right at the end. I have a dual boot
machine with Windows 2000 and Debian (used to be triple boot with FreeBSD).
My suspend works fine. When my machine enters hibernation mode in Linux, it
uses a BIOS utility (It's a Phoenix BIOS.). When I restart my machine,
instead of getting LILO, the BIOS utility restores my machine to Linux.
However, when I enter the hibernation mode in W2K, I always get LILO on
rebooting.
Also, since I can enter hibernation mode both from W2K (W2K first and then
Linux. The reverse does not work.) and then from Linux (after choosing Linux
from LILO on reboot.), I think W2K writes the memory to a file on its
partition, whereas Linux writes it to the last partition I created for the
purpose.
So I really don't know if you can use a file on a Windows partition. Here's
what I used to create my hibernation partition:
