Exactly.
I have installed a number of multi-boot PCs with Windows and 3,4+ Linux distros, all the distros sharing a single swap partition and a single /home partition (with different user accounts).
...
Normally, a computer that is hibernated will not allow to boot any other system, including the install DVD/stick.
What? TBH, this is the first time I ever hear this. And I *have* booted hibernated systems with a different OS. Quite some time ago though - I'm exclusively using suspend nowadays.
I agree. This is news to me too, and does not match what I have seen on my own machines.
Because you use a single swap partition, shared between all: thus it is impossible to boot another system while one is hibernated. ie, booting the second system destroys the hibernation of the first. When I hibernate my laptop, I can not even reach the bios configuration page, nor the grub menu: both are disabled till the hibernated system recovers. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
