It works on my X20, at least. But with the default Windows 2000 install, hibernation is handled by Windows instead of by the BIOS. Briefly, here is how I got hibernation working: = Repartition so that you have a FAT partition as the first partition. It must be big enough for your hibernation file --- so make it a bit larger than physical memory. = Install DOS on that partition. = Download the IBM PS2 for DOS utility [1], and install it on the DOS partition. = Use the PS2 utility to create a hibernation file. Now hibernation works. Cheers, -- Jacques A. Vidrine <n@nectar.cc> http://www.nectar.cc/ NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .
