How did you create the hibernation partition? Before or after
installing GRUB?
Also, which version of GRUB did you use?

Some free space is usually present. If lphdisk doesn't reserve one
track before the first partition, lphdisk should be blamed.

Several boot loaders and disk utilities use it, actually. For example,
GAG uses it.
