[ltp] Hibernate on Thinkpad T21 with Win2k + RH71

[Nigel Metheringham]

I have just set up  new T21 which came with Win2k installed and to 
which I have added RH71.

After upgrading to the 2.4.5 release kernel (which incidently works 
with the on-board sound, and cures the hangs with the 3com on-board 
mini-pci ethernet), I'd like to get hibernate (or suspend-to-disk) 
working.

The Win2k install hibernates quite happily.  However it looks 
suspiciously as though it is actually using something closer to the 
methods used by the linux suspend-to-swap experiments - it has a 
hibernate file within the filesystem there, windows saves state into 
that, and then on restart windows starts its boot and loads state from 
the hibernate file.

I am guessing, from the information I have now found on hibernation, 
that I need to get the "Configuration utility diskette" for DOS and 
make a hibernation file on the first FAT fileystem (the win2k install 
partition).  Do I need to do any additional magic to get this working?

	Nigel.
