[ltp] T21 hibernation

[D. Sen]

Not true. I used stndalhd just last week to create a hibernation file on 
a fat32 partition on /dev/hda1.

Using stndalhd to just create the hibernation file will result in the 
file being created in the first fat/fat32 partition that the file can 
reside in. In your case this will be /dev/hda2

I am guessing that there isnt enough space in /dev/hda2 for a 
hibernation file.

I have never had much luck with an a0 partition. I would try a different 
partition scheme with the first fat/fat32 partition large enough to hold 
the hibernation file.
