Did you try this lphtool?
Dells BIOS might be a Phoenix one, and there's a linux utility for
creating hibernate partitions for phoenix i think.
lphdisk i think, it also references Dell Inspiron 5000:
This utility prepares and formats the hibernation partition for notebook
computers that use Phoenix NoteBIOS. Once this partition has been
prepared, it can be used with the BIOS's APM Suspend-To-Disk feature.
Laptops that can make use of a hibernation partition include several
ARMNotes, the Dell Inspiron 5000, Sony VAIOs, and many Tuxtops laptops.
See the README in this package for a complete list.
Greetings,
Erich
