11 Hibernation depends on a myriad of CPU variants, setting and the matching
12 memory issues. (U)efi is a good place to start your long, arduous journey
13 of research [1] ; see S4.

16 I would research the problem and fix it with winblows as the operating
17 system, if possible; then hope that those setting are not changed
18 by booting linux. Often you can copy the bios setting from the laptop
19 and find tools to at least view the contents legibly. It does depend
20 on the bios. Maybe you need a vendor supplied bios update/downgrade.
21
22 Maybe Coreboot, has some old work laying around that is relevant to
23 your needs [2]. It is mostly a research journey, that may lead
24 to success or failure. Hard to say, as sometimes the same make and
25 model of a laptop, has diffent internal components (like firmware, bios
26 and chips)...
