Hibernate works fine on my 600 (also redhat 5.2). It required a small change to the
APM source before compileing (#undef APM_NOINTS), but that was all, and this was
only on the 600. It will just beep and not hibernate if there is an active network card
installed (requiring that you pop the card). You should be able to get it working. Try a
net search.
