I do support for those laptops and there is a special partition for
the "suspend to disk" activity and here is the output of "fdisk -l
/dev/hda" on a DELL Linux install.  They  have a floppy disk utility
that will create this for you but not where you see it here, the
floppy creates it at the bottome of the drive so you have to reverse
layout the partitions.  You have to run the utility "PRIOR" to the
install.

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1222 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
