 *On the {{600X}} (using kernel 2.6.12.5) APM suspend and hibernate functions won't work if the floppy disk driver is not running (must be compiled into kernel or modprobe'd - even if your FDD is not connected). Running {{cmduser|apm --suspend}} will return Input/Output Error. After enabling the floppy's driver suspend and hibernate functions are running fine.

 If you have 512MB or more of RAM installed, you will need to use a FAT32 partition, due to file-size limits in FAT16.

-The partition to be used for hibernation must be a primary partition that is at least as big as your laptop's memory including its video ram. First set the partition type of this partition to a0 (IBM Thinkpad hibernation) with fdisk, and then use [[tphdisk]] to write a hibernation file directly to this partition.

 Only follow these instructions, if you understand them. You will overwrite a partition on your hard disk and might lose valuable data - consider yourself warned. For example, assume that {{path|/dev/hda2}} is the partition that is to be converted to a hibernation partition.<br />

 You need to enable the APM Power Management support in the kernel and install the [[apmd]] to handle the events triggered by the kernel driver.
 The configuration for what to do at the different events is done in the proxy script which is usually found in {{path|/etc/apmd_proxy}}.
-See {{cmd|man apmd}} for further information on this.
+See {{cmduser|man apmd}} for further information on this.
 If both ACPI and APM are enabled in your kernel, ACPI will override APM on boot if an ACPI capable BIOS is detected. To keep it from doing so add {{bootparm|acpi|off}} to your [[kernel parameters]].
