You need to repartition to create a magic partition. If your laptop has a phoenix bios then you set the partition type for the new partition to IBM Hibernate Partition (can't remember the number, but it's in the lphdisk manpage), make sure it's big enough for the amount of RAM you have, format it with lphdisk and bingo (or that's the theory) Faye -- Faye Pearson, Covert Development ClaraNET Ltd.
