The last primary doubles as the home for the extended partitions. If you use up all the primaries (four, I think), you can't define any extended. You often see systems with hda1, hda5, hda6... because of this. Thanks, Micros~1/IBM. On Tue, Feb 11, 2003 at 10:26:17AM +0100, mi wrote: I can't

Thank you very much, Frédérick and Benjamin. I knew about swsusp, but hadn't check the project status in a long while. Could you say, more or less, how fast is it? I mean average suspend/resume times on your machines. On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 15:33, Frédéric Bothamy wrote: The official page for

Hi Nils Anders, Ceasr and whoever's interested ! Here's the stuff: Dell I5000 PIII 600 Mhz Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0, Dell-Update revA08 BIOS APM suspend set to 'disk' 12 GB FUJITSU MHK21DAT Though dma enabled, it's far not as fast as my deskbox seagate. ( but does BIOS hib use dma here ? )

Hello again. Here are some additions about APM. Linux apm - functions seem (correctly) not to depend on the BIOS setting, e.g. if BIOS hibernation is 'disabled' the linux apm does still relesase it. apm -s puts the machine into suspend-to-Ram; FN-suspend also. apm -S puts the machine into real

The swsusp Patch works perfectly in my homemade 2.4.20 and 2.4.19 for almost a year now. it is already included in the 2.5 tree. in my case it even suspends pcmcia cards flawlessly if you don't change them while the computer is suspended. don't know why there aren't more people using it. check
