I see.  And after looking at Vivek's partition layout, 1024
cylinder issue is non-problem, indeed.

I was interested in your DMA and MultSect settings, because
we found out in the past that BIOS needed MultSect on in order
for hibernation to work (with TP570 model).

Anyway, tweak some setting (such as I/O support -> 32bit) might
help.
