Unless you are using your swap partition for hibernating to disk, when most of your memory in usage will be saved on it. In that case, if swap is less than RAM, hibernation fails. BTW, it used to be that the kernel would not (easily?) access more than 128M of swap for some reason and multiple 128M swap partitions were more efficient than a single larger space, but this has probably changed with amd64 processors and modern kernels. -- Regards, Mick
