[ltp] T21 hibernation

[Werner Horbelt]

IBM's standalone boot diskette supports two ways of hibernation:
a) hibernation partition: didn't work for me. ??
b) hibernation file on a primary FAT or FAT32 partition, see
http://www.bm-soft.com/~bm/archives/200203/msg00047.html
and related postings.

W2K uses hiberfil.sys.
(my) Linux uses save2dsk.bin.

I get this message whenever certain loadable kernel modules 
are loaded. This includes pcmcia and modem related modules.
Unfortunately sometimes he refuses to software eject the 
pcmcia card -> can't unload the modules -> 
can't hibernate without reboot
