After windows goes into hibernation mode, the computer will not boot into Linux. It stops and asks for root password and drops to command prompt.
Surely there will be a message about the reason. The system is expecting you to correct the situation.
The only way to reboot into Linux is to start windows to recover from its hibernation mode. After shutting windows down normally, Linux will boot normally.
Is this normal behavior? Can any changes be made to recover from Windows hibernation mode? Yes. No.
Let me guess. You probably got an error message in Linux about the impossibility to mount the Windows partitions because it is in an inconsistent state or some similar words. When you hibernate a machine you can not mount the partitions it had opened in any other operating system, nor in another instance of the same operating system. You need to awake the hibernated system, then fully close it. If you force the mount, the destruction caused to those filesystem can be horrible. In Linux, you can comment out the Windows mount line, then continue booting. Or write the option "nofail". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
