Sure... most distros these days support it.

But how to do it correctly in your case? That's a bigger question. Can you be more specific? A lot more specific??

The Specific in the Sense mean , I am using Red Hat linux with Kernel version 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I think "specific" also means that you should tell us what exactly the problem is. (I personally am not smart about this, and I'm hoping to learn also.)

For starters, what settings have you changed in the power management dialog? (RedHat may call it something else.)

Also, please tell us the exact version of RedHat--eg Enterprise 4 or 5. Also provide a description of your hardware.

Maybe the kernel is quite outdated, I think that, if possible, you'd better to update your system...
More over, in my own experience, "hibernating" is something like 3D acceleration and wifi boards: it works out of the box 75% of times, hope you're in...
