Yes, you are probably correct.

They advise to have swap large than physical memory in order to Hibernate,
but not everyone gets the message.

The quickest fix is to create a swapfile.
I have read that it is far more flexible and nearly equal in speed to a physical swap.

I found this in google:
http://www.mail-archive.com/csi_nsit@ya ... 00057.html
which explains very well the function and how to create / add a swap file,
and this also
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq .

saludos,
Richard.
