The problem with hibernation volumes is they need the correct preamble.
lphdisk has surprised its author a few times and worked with a few things
he thought it wouldn't - tho yes, they always turned out to be somebody

The keyword you want to search on is "swsusp" or "software suspend". There
was a long discussion on it several months ago in this list, so searching
the debian archives would be a good starter.
It was designed to help people who have 386 and 486 laptops that predated
suspend features, but, it also is claimed to just work, if your own are
