Folk,

"resume:" still eludes.

My package listing is now visible.
http://carnot.yi.org/PackageList

By diffing this against their list, can anyone and spot something
which might hint at the origin of this "resume problem"?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

As I said before, it's the uswsusp package. it's trying to resume a
suspended system, but it can't find the volume which claims to hold
the resume image. You can either purge uswsusp, or if you want to keep
it around, at least point it to your swap partition so it can look for
and fail to find a resume image. Then it should at least gracefully
fail and allow a seemingly normal boot. Look in your
/etc/uswsusp.conf and set the resume device properly. Then rebuild
your initrd's with update-initramfs -u.

Essentially, what is happening is uswsusp is looking for some
partition on which it thinks it could find a resume image. But that
partition apparently doesn't exist and rather than do a normal boot on
a system that might have been suspended, thus risking file system
damage, it's doing the smart thing and asking you what it should
do. If you specift that partition properly in /etc/uswsusp.conf then
it will find that partition, confirm that there is no resume image
there and then proceed with a normal boot.

Andrew,

OK. It all makes sense now.

At Wed, 2 Apr 2008 16:20:31 -0700 you wrote,
"... it can't find the volume ..."

Because I rearranged partition usage.

"You can either purge uswsusp, ..."

Done. It was pulled in only because it is
recommended by pmutils. I don't need it.

"... rebuild your initrd's with update-initramfs -u."

Also done. Yes, the offending code was hiding
in the initrd.

Thanks for your . I never would have
untangled this alone.

Still appears that the reference to "resume:"
at startup is erroneous. Couldn't it cite
"uswsusp:" rather than "resume:".

Thanks, ... Peter E.
