However, thus far, not one of the findings from others has shown that the hibernation space is located in the exact same spot, or is the exact same size between HDs. Here's a theory (I have one data point to support it!) At least in my Lib70 with a 10GB HD: THEORY The hibernation area begins at cylinder 1023, and goes up as far as needed (maximum RAM + video memory). /THEORY To test this theory (on a newly-installed HD larger than 8.4GB): 1) Boot to Win9x or DOS without a disk manager, put in a partition at the very end of the disk, and see what cylinder number it ends at (if the THEORY is correct, it would always end at cylinder 1022). 2) Get your partitioning software to see the whole drive (I put a Linux partition above the 8.4GB mark; thereafter PartitionMagic could see the entire drive), skip the amount of space theorized for the partition area, and create an important partition just after that (I created my Linux /usr partition there). Note: since PM insists on starting at cylinder boundaries, the possible edges of partitions on my drive were spaced every 7.8MB, so I was forced to leave 5 cylinders = 39MB free. 3) Hibernate a bunch and see if the important partition gets corrupted (mine hasn't). (I'm guessing that most OS's write first to the beginning of a partition - if so, corruption should be readily apparent.) So, if you can provide evidence for or against this theory, please post it to the list!!

Re: hibernation solution
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 15:34:24 -0400 From: Lawrence Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: hibernation solution Here is my simple solution: (1) attach the HDD to Lib and run FDISK to allocate the primary partition to the maximum it can handle. (2) attach the HDD to desktop machine with Win2K and create a dummy partition of size 150MB right after the first partition created by Lib. This is the space for hibernation data. I figure 150MB should be enough. (3) Create and format a third partition from Win2K right after the dummy partition. I ran Win2K on my L100 so there is no problem seen the extended partition.

It just write directly to the area where it thinks it should be. What I plan to do (and the only safe method I can think of), is to create a small Unix partition at the start of the disk, write a bit code to fill the rest of the disk with a known byte pattern, then run a similar bit of code to report the range of physical addresses that have been changed after a hibernate. It won't be quick, but it should answer the question once and for all. When I installed FreeBSD relaese 3.3 on my Toshiba Libretto 50CT notebook, I had to generate a second raw hibernation partition. The raw hibernation partition generated by Windows 95 is not used by the BIOS when hibernating in FreeBSD. Instead, the hibernation data are written into the "/usr" slice which destroys the main partition and leaves only a rudimentary operating system in "/root". This happens indepedently from having APM enabled or not as it is a BIOS function. If you have re-compiled your kernel with the APM option, the only difference is that you can manually hibernate before your battery is empty. To avoid crashing the hibernation data into my "/usr" slice, I generated a second raw hibernation partition from the FreeBSD installation program.
