[ltp] hibernation problem

[Joel Uckelman]

I've been having a peculiar problem with hibernation on my Thinkpad 560E. 
The first time I try to hibernate (using either Fn-12 or 'tpctl -H') it 
works fine. However, subsequent attempts to hibernate (without rebooting) 
all fail unless I first read from or write to /dev/fd0. Doing something as 
simple as 'echo 1 >/dev/fd0' makes hibernation work again, even if I have 
no floppy drive connected. (I figured this out by reading a post by someone 
who got hibernation to work by loading his kernel module for his floppy 
drive each time. I don't have a module for floppy drives, so I took a guess 
that trying to use the floppy would yield the same results.)

It seems weird that the floppy drive would have anything to do with 
hibernation. Does anyone know why this is happening? Or how to fix it?
