Most Hibernation problems in XP were brought by SP2, only happen
with 1GB or more, and are fixed by hotfix 909095. In short, call
Microsoft and ask "I want the hotfix of KB909095"; MS will send
you a free 2.5MB file that should fix the problem.
In particular, when a RTC (56K) modem driver fails, while being
phone-connected, to answer correctly to an Hibernation request,
Windows XP SP2 if 909095-hotfixed will provide you with a short
and clear report, telling you to get an updated driver, and
specifying the exact name of the modem.

Subject: Laptop not hibernating (was: Dial-up connection
prevents hibernation after idling, as per power scheme)
Microsoft User wrote (Mon 14 Aug 2006 01:29:36 GMT):
In my power scheme for running on batteries, the laptop
should go into hibernation after 15 minutes of inactivity.
If I've established a dial-up connection, it never goes into
hibernation. This is true for both my Dell and my HP.
Is there a way to prevent the dial-up connection
from preventing hibernation?
I was wrong about the details. The HP Compaq nc82030 is not
hibernating regardless of whether a dial-up connection was
established. The Dell only avoids hibernation if a dial-up
connection is established. Any suggestions on how to
troubleshoot the HP's lack of automatic hibernation would be
appreciated. As well, is there a way to prevent automatic
hibernation when the Dell connected to dial-up? Thanks.

Subject: SOLVED by hotfix KB909095 (Hibernation disappears in
XP if 1GB or more)
The reason: The problem is when you upgrade RAM to high size
(1Gb or 2Gb), XPSP2 fails to enlarge accordingly the
pagefile.sys file; attempts to hibernate fail, either before or
after, and cause Windows to temporarily remove Hibernate from
the Shut Down options - but without alterating your personal
Power Profiles. Restart restores Hibernation - thus your
original profiles.
The fix: the hotfix of KB909095, that will be added in XP-SP3,
and that meanwhile you will get for free by calling Microsoft in
your country (2.5MB). Details below.
