Hi Thanks for the replay. I encrypt swap on my laptop. Key is kept on usb, mounted at boot. Once linux is up and running I remove usb. Hibernation does not work, sad face (unless I keep usb mounted). But IPcop does not hibernate. As for why? There are may discussions around this, but it's just my personal preference.
