Hi everyone,
I was bored today and decided to check if my usb keyboard wakes vista from hibernation. I found out though that it won't hibernate at all.
I traced the problem to vista having problems with grub.
I have 2 SATA hard drives: one with vista and one with Fedora 10. Dual boot through grub. Both OSs boot without errors, but hibernation in vista is gone. When I change the boot order in BIOS and boot vista directly, the hibernation works, but booting via grub result in no hibernation.
I've read many how-to's and found that vista has something called "BCD Store" (whatever that is) and that it's not accessible when booting from Grub. I've read that I can recreate that "store" with "bcdedit /createstore", but it always says "not recognized file system, can't create." It almost seems that windows sees the Fedora hard drive as the OS drive or something.
Here's my current Grub section that boots vista:
Code:
title windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
I've tried to put "makeactive" between rootnoverify and chainloader - same thing, no hibernation and bcd store is not available.
My best guess is that I'm missing something in my Grub entry for windows. Can anyone help, please?
