[ltp] T21 hibernation

[D. Sen]

What filesystem does lphdisk format /dev/hda4 as? I would suggest just
making that a fat or fat32 file system using linux's fdisk and
mkfs.msdos utilities. After that using IBM's stndalhd to create the
hibernation file worked for me.

That ought to work as long as /dev/hda4 is large enough to accomodate
your system+video RAM.
