Comment 26 for bug 432598

I'd like to second Magoun's post. I got two or three calls complaining about
the hibernate function not working. In one of our ISOs I had to make the
hibernate function get the computer in S3 state instead of S4. It would be
great if we could remove the menu option, instead of making workarounds for
the S3/S4 issues.
