I had hibernation working with my T21 Thinkpad and SuSE 7.3.  I used the
stndalhd.exe disk IBM provided.

Now I'm using Redhat 7.3, and Ximian Gnome Desktop.  Hibernation works,
but now the system spends about 90 seconds with the disk light on when
it boots up.  Before, with SuSE, this didn't happen.

It happens from power on boot, or reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bret
