Mike,
Here's great info for your hibernation issue. This should take care of
it.

Get the hibernation mode working on the larger harddisk
The only thing that caused me a real headache was the hibernation mode
that uses a part on the harddisk to store the memory while the Libretto
was
switched off. If this part lays somewhere in the middle of a Linux
partition the latter will be partly or wholly destroyed after one
hibernation ....
In the original disk simply the last 18 cylinders were reserved for
hibernation :
raw size of 1.6 GB disk :788/64/63 (C/H/S), Linux usable size :770/64/63
(C/H/S)
However, with this new disk things were much more complicated as the
Libretto BIOS - just like many older PCs - can't recognize disks larger
than
8.4 GB. After some disasters (a trashed second partition and a trashed
swap space !) I found out that hibernation takes place in the first
sectors
AFTER the 8.4 GB.
To put things absolutely clear: it is NOT at the end of the 10 GB and it
is also NOT just BEFORE the end of the 8.4 GB.
After finding this out I decided upon the following partitioning scheme
that already works flawlessly for some time without causing any damage
to the
Linux partitions after several hibernations and fscks / memory checks :
Layout of the 10 GB disk : 1222 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors
My partitioning scheme :
Linux partition : 1 - 192 (1.5 GB)
Work partition : 193 - 1015 (6.5 GB)
Swap partition : 1016 - 1023 ( 64 MB)
Hibernation : 1024 - 1929 ( 48 MB) (can be smaller : only need
32 MB)
Third partition : 1030 - 1222 (1.5 GB)
Fdisk reports the following :
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1222 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 192 1542208+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 193 1015 6610747+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda3 1016 1023 64260 83 Linux native
/dev/hda4 1024 1222 1598467+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1024 1029 48163+ 70 DiskSecure Multi-Boot
