mounted. I don't use a whole partition but a file.
/dev/hda2            1897        3251    10243800    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

/dev/hda2 on /data type vfat (rw,noatime,umask=6000)

gandalf data# ls -palo save2dsk.bin
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     1153433600 2003-07-22 13:57 save2dsk.bin

No

I'm using /dev/hda2, I don't know if it *has* to be. The file was 
automatically found by the BIOS.

Dunno. Primary in my case.

I was able to hibernate using APM + Fn+F12. Using ACPI, the keystroke is 
simple ignored. I can't sleep/hibernate/swsusp for several reasons (ACPI + 
Atheros WiFi drivers)
