Hi,
It's funny that hibernation partition is not supported... I got a
Thinkpad X31 a few days ago, and today I just made hibernation work:
- As usual... I just skipped the README file...
- I made an image of the diskette and booted it through the network,
with syslinux memdisk.
- I had a fat32 primary partition ready for that already, so I picked
"Create hibernation file".
- Rebooted, hibernation did not work.
- I booted the diskette image again, and picked "Hibernation partition",
since I had about 9 Gb of unpartitioned space, it created the partition
there.
- Reboot, lilo had gone away!
- Network booted the debian installation and used it to run lilo again.
- Reboot, all my data is intact, hibernation works.
Then I checked the list for any discussions on hibernation (right on
time, :) and see hibernation partition is not supported... but so far
its working with no problems.
If I run cfdisk I get this:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Primary Win95 FAT32 [ ] 1021.88
hda2 Boot Primary Linux ext3 2051.49
hda4 Primary IBM Thinkpad hibernation 828.34
Logical Free Space 7555.65
hda5 Logical Linux swap 510.94
hda6 Logical Linux ext3 1199.93
hda7 Logical Linux ext3 4002.33
hda8 Logical Linux ext3 19996.14
hda1 is the FAT32 partition I had created for hibernation, I guess I can
delete it now. hda4 is the partition created by the ibm utility.
