Hi Folks, Having some problems with this machine (Z505 something in the US I think). I am trying to set it up dual-boot with Windows 98. The Sony install CD re-partitions the disk with a (approx) 8MB Windows parition, a 4MB empty partition and a small partition at the end of the disk which I believe is for the hibernation disk-write. The first time I installed, hibernation failed to work, so I assumed I had mistakenly over-written part of the hibernation partition, although it _appeared_ to still be there. The most recent time, after installing FreeBSD, I booted back into Windows to check that hibernation would still work. It worked fine, minus the graphical progress bar while the memory is written to disk. I could restore from hibernation back to Windows with no problem. This lack of blocky progress bar didn't bother me (although I wasn't sure why it was missing), so I progressed with configuring FreeBSD, installing X, etc. However, after a few boots back and forth, the hibernation now fails completely. I have tried this with FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0, using the standard boot manager. Any ideas what's going on? Si.
