[ltp] T30 Hibernate help needed!!

[Hector Socas Navarro]

Here's a list of questions for you folks who have hibernate working:
1) do you have your hibernate partition mounted or unmounted?
2) What type of partition is it?
3) How is it mounted (i.e., what filesystem)?
4) Does it need to be the same partition used by Windows?
5) Does it need to be the 1st or 2nd partition on the disk, or can it be 
any other?
6) Does it matter if it's a logical or primary partition?
7) When I press Fn+F12 during boot-up I get a buzz. However, once the 
system is running, I don't get the buzz any more. The keystroke is 
simply ignored. Does that mean it's been disabled by some daemon?

Here's what my partition table looks like (from fdisk):

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 7752 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes

    Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1      1428  10795648+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2          7525      7752   1723680   1c  Hidden Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3          1429      7524  46085760    f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5          1429      3525  15853288+   c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda6          3734      7320  27117688+  83  Linux
/dev/hda7          7321      7524   1542208+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda8          3526      3733   1572448+  16  Hidden FAT16

Partition table entries are not in disk order

hda1 is the Windows XP partition
I suspect hda2 is the partition Windows uses to hibernate, but I'm not 
sure. I tried placing my save2dsk.bin file there but nothing happened
hda3 contains the rest of the partitions
hda5 is a Windows partition with shared data that I want to access from 
both Linux and Windows
hda6 contains my Linux filesystem (including / and /home)
hda7 is the Linux swap partition
hda8 is the partition I created to use tphdisk.c

My RAM is 1Gb

Here's how my filesystems are mounted:

[root@sauron root]# mount
/dev/hda6 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /home/navarro/windows type vfat (rw,uid=8795,gid=500,umask=002)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

I've tried mounting /dev/hda8 as vfat but still nothing happens
