i am also trying to use hibernation on my thinkpad t30. i have the following problem: the preinstalled win xp hibernates just fine to it's own hibernation file, without using the bios. but to get hibernation under freebsd working, i need to create a valid hibernation file on a fat16 or fat32 partition (at least that's what i read somewhere). i searched the ibm site for a tool to do that and found hibw4win.exe, but it does not work under xp (obviously, because it is usually not needed for xp only operations) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now, how can i create such a hibernation file? is there some other tool to do that? or what are the specs of such a file? as far as i know, all i need is a file of the right size and the right filename on a dos partition. about the size, i read something about (physical mem + video mem) * 1.01 + 2MB. what about the filename? greets, t.
