Hi Folks,

Having some problems with this machine (Z505 something in the US I think).

I am trying to set it up dual-boot with Windows 98.  The Sony install CD
re-partitions the disk with a (approx) 8MB Windows parition, a 4MB empty
partition and a small partition at the end of the disk which I believe is
for the hibernation disk-write.  The first time I installed, hibernation
failed to work, so I assumed I had mistakenly over-written part of the
hibernation partition, although it _appeared_ to still be there.  The most
recent time, after installing FreeBSD, I booted back into Windows to check
that hibernation would still work.  It worked fine, minus the graphical
progress bar while the memory is written to disk.  I could restore from
hibernation back to Windows with no problem.  This lack of blocky progress
bar didn't bother me (although I wasn't sure why it was missing), so I
progressed with configuring FreeBSD, installing X, etc.   However, after a
few boots back and forth, the hibernation now fails completely.

I have tried this with FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0, using the standard boot manager.

Any ideas what's going on?



Si.
