Hi,

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX601 (FXA53 is the US model) and I wondering it
it support S4bios.
If it is supported, I need an A0 suspend partition?

Well, I think that you should have such partition.  This one have a
Phoenix bios, no?  Try lphdisk at http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/
or do a apt-get install lphdisk if you are on a Debian GNU/Linux.

Yes, bios is Phoenix and I have debiani; lphdisk already got.
My question is why to make suspend partition I must resize a 11GB ext2
partition and must buckup it.

The Flags part say that you can not use S4Bios, certainly because the
BIOS know that you don't have a suspend partition.

The Flags part have bit 0 set if you can enter S4Bibos.

ok, as I suspected.
Thanks very much.
