hibernation known issue or not?

[otto]

I have a Toshiba M200 with Tablet PC 2005 SP2, 2GB Ram, and 15Gb free space,
recently defragged before creating the hibernation file. Prior to going to
2GB ram I had 1.25GB and hibernation worked fine. After going to 2GB,
hibernation has consistently failed with the message "insufficient
resources". In the Knowledge Base, I can find some discussion of this but
it suggests that the fix was rolled into SP2 and the hotfix there won't
install over SP2 in any case. So my question is: is this a current problem
or is there a known solution for it?

Thanks

If you Google for hibernate+2gb you will find several discussions of your
same problem. Apparently some machines *preloaded* with 2GB of RAM even have
this problem. Not sure whether a definitive solution was found.

FAT32 file system has a 2G (some situations, may be 4G) upper limit on
file size; that could bite if saving the state of 2G RAM to hibernate.

Thanks but I'm using NTFS for file system so that shouldn't be the issue.
Really just trying to find out whether Microsoft believes this is fixed (say
in SP2) and there is some procedural issue I need to know or whether this is
known to be broken on their side.

Not sure whom you would contact at MS, but the experts here are not MS
