Yes, the JFS data is not so much a problem, it can be backedup and 
restored in a variety of ways. The problem is moving the active booted 
C: partition, without access to a floppy boot. As I noted in my last 
post, the trick was to create a tiny primary FAT partition and run DOS 
Partition Magic from there, after booting from the Win98 CD.

It's not so much that the hibernation facility is LVM aware, it is just 
that it doesn't really care about the rest of the disk, once it is set 
up in its FAT or FAT32 partition, there is probably a pointer in system 
memory that indicates which sectors on the drive to dump the memory to. 
It won't work in an HPFS or NTFS partition, and I expect that that is a 
problem with the hibernation pseudo-partition setup installer, rather 
than the memory dumper part of it. Randy was saying it is working fine 
on his machine with BM installed.

I can let you know if I'm successful doing the same if you wish. What 
kind of Thinkpad are you using?
