On all the windows XP machines I have used suspend means that
the machine is still not quite powered down and can be woken
again at touch a button.
Hibernate means that all state gets thrown down on the HD and the
power goes out.
When the power comes on again I get lilo and I can choose my
OS. If I choose XP it finds the hibernation data early in it's
boot process and loads it. However I don't have to choose XP.
I could use linux for a couple of weeks, even reinstall lilo a
few times, and still come back to XP and it would find it's
hibernation data.
So I guess lilo is compatible with windows XP hibernation.
AFAIK, linux swsusp (SysReq-d) does the same thing as XP
hibernation. i.e. It detects the hibernation during kernel
boot. Doesn't really have anything to do with lilo or the
bios at all. I could be wrong though.
