I have a dell D610 laptop. Hibernate works great whenever I hibernate
manually either with the function key or from the start menu.
However, when the laptop's battery runs low and it automatically hibernates,
the system hangs and does not hibernate. I sat and watched it once to see
what happens -- the hibernation dialog pops up saying that it is hibernating,
but the mouse stops moving and that is the end of it -- nothing ever happens.
There does appears to be periodic hard drive activity which is odd -- but it
is very intermittent -- maybe I was seeing things but I thought I saw the
hard drive light flash a couple times. In any case, I even plugged it back
in to see if would just take a while to hibernate, and I let it sit there for
at least 15 minutes and nothing...
So... what could be happening when the battery low meter starts the
hibernation automatically vs. when I hibernate manually? Why would one work
and the other hang? How can I troublesheet and fix?
Thanks!
