I've got hibernation working on TP-600E.

1. I remove all the PCMCIA cards before hibernating.

2. I've recompiled the kernel, turning all the APM options to "Yes",
   except for one: "Ignore User Suspend = NO".

3. Booting Win in DOS mode and using "PS2.EXE" I've created 
   hibernation file (I think it's the "HFILE" command).

Now if somebody could help with getting the IR port to work... I'm
using SuSE-6.3 distribution with 2.2.13-SuSE kernel... Following 
the HOWTO didn't lead to solution...
