Corey,
I have an older machine from yours (iSeries 1400) but it came with win98,
which I recently had to reghost, so there are some parallels. Mine had two
partitions. There was no reinstall partition; they supplied a disk for
that. The first partition was only 2.2 gig on mine because of limitations
in the ghosting software--it only supported fat16, which as you know is a
2.2GB max format.
It may be, therefore, that your first partition was small because of the way
they load on Win98 in ThinkpadVille. My original 4.xGB hard drive came with
two fat16 partitions, I believe, which could mean that you had three
partitions because of the size of your drive.
My machine just writes the memory to disk during hibernation--there's a
great big 130MB file in my root directory with the timestamp of the last
time I hibernated the machine. That makes me think it's a software thing,
although it boots to a really simple screen when it hibernates.
Hope these ramblings help...

Subject: [TPX20] RedHat 6.2: Is there a "hibernate" partition? How to
recreate it?
Hi all, I'm new to the list and a new owner of a ThinkPad X20. I
searched the archives for this problem and couldn't find anything
relevant.
When I got the machine, I immediately wiped the Win98 it came with and
installed RedHat 6.2 (Linux). I dimly recall that the hard disk came
with three partitions on it. Because I am an idiot, I deleted them
all.
One was my win98 partition. I'm guessing that the second was the
Win98 re-install partition, which would be nice to have back, but it's
probably too late for that. I'm hypothesizing that the third would be
devoted to the "hibernate" feature. This would be nice to have back
also.
So my questions, all based on a cascading set of assumptions:
Does hibernate work on Linux? Can I invoke it, e.g. via the "apm"
command? (I don't see an option for hibernate in the apm man page).
Does hibernate need a partition reserved on the hard disk? Can I
recreate that partition? If so, what partition type do I use and how
much space?
Thanks in advance!
