           Summary: UEFI Secure Boot and Hibernate (Suspend to Disk)

Description of problem:
With OEMs shipping preloads of Windows 8 on new purchase computers, UEFI tends
to be enabled by default.  Though Fedora can work with a secure boot UEFI bios,
certain features have been disable (See Fedora 18 UEFI Secure Boot Edition
18.4).

As hibernation (suspend to disk) functionality has been disabled on an UEFI
Secure Boot system, users need to be aware, prior to installation of Fedora (as
sole OS on the system), whether to enable or disable this functionality.

Those using Fedora on a laptop/netbook, shouldn't discover *after* completing
installation, that hibernation has been disabled.  It becomes a huge pain, to
google how to disable the /boot/efi partition, and grub2, if even possible.

If not documented or referenced in the install-guide, CommonBugs should make
note of this issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 18, Fedora 19

How reproducible:
