I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way to allow dual boot after
hibernating. I'm currently using FC6T2 on a dual boot with WinXP, and
it's working pretty well overall. However, I've noticed that if I
hibernate (using the pm-hibernate command), when I reboot I no longer
get the Grub interface that allows me to select an operating system. I
have no problem hibernating from windows and booting into linux though.
Is this an intentional feature? Is there a way to boot into the WinXP
OS anyway?
Yes, it's an intentional feature. I asked this a month ago and was told
what's "best" for me:

In fairness, this is done because if you upgrade your kernel and
hibernate, GRUB will use the new kernel by default which would almost
certainly fail to start post-hibernate, thus losing any unsaved work.
So, with the caveat that you should not hibernate after a kernel update:
So to accomplish this you now need to move the file 01grub out
of /etc/pm/hooks (or just comment the lines of course).
Is hibernate working for you with the latest packages? It stopped
working for me about four weeks ago...
