I just bought a laptop (dell inspiron 5000) and put potato on it. I've been struggling with getting hibernation to work. I created the hibernation partition with the little dos utility that came with the machine, but still no dice. The bios are set to "suspend-to-disk" so I had sort of hoped that just doing Fn-Suspend would save the ram to disk and shut off. This is not the case, the machine just does a lowpower suspend. Windows has a hibernate option, which does what you would suspect, saves the ram and shuts off.
I just wanted to know if anyone has had any luck with this sort of thing, or has any suggestions. Thanks. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
