A sad beep can mean one of three things: you have a network or modem pcmcia card plugged in, or maybe any pcmcia card you don't have a proper "hibernation" file/partition where the BIOS expects it you do have a proper "hibernation" file/partition where the BIOS expects it, but you have since added memory and it won't fit in the old file/partition Of course, if IBM neutered the BIOS in this area we can forget about it. I suggested to Oliver that he inquire to IBM and mention that he wants to dual boot with Linux :) since they claim to support that in many cases. From what you and Karsten say it seems IBM may have disabled the old BIOS method. Do you pop straight into the restore from disk on power up, or does the BIOS give you the choice of operating system first? Which MBR (O/S selector) are you using? Have you tried this with the FreeBSD MBR, or is that even possible on this machine/BIOS combination? [All my experience is with the FreeBSD MBR.] Greg -----Original Message----- >Hi Greg, Oliver, > >IBM's Win2K installation hijacks the Fn-F12 combination to invoke the >Win2K Hibernation.
