So it seems like RH 7.1 uses ACPI (which is still considered to be
experimental according to the kernel sources' documentation) by default
- instead of APM which was the default under kernel version 2.2 and is
still used by e.g. by SuSE 7.1 with the 2.4 kernel. ACPI does not
require a separate hibernation partition while APM does.
