annoying message at boot: Unable to access resume device SWAP-hda6
Pawel
Hallo all
I am running FC.5.
At boot time I can see annoying message:
Unable to access resume device SWAP-hda6
I of course activated another partition as a swap with commands:
mkswap -L SWAP-at-home /dev/hda9
swapon LABEL=SWAP-at-home
.. and SWAP-hda6 is no longer used, but the message above still appears
at boot time. It's a bit annoying.
have You got any idea how to make it disappear from boot process.
regards,
Pawel

in /comp.os.linux.misc/ as follows...:
By editing your bootloader configuration file and removing/editing the
*resume=/dev/hda6* entry from the kernel's /append/ line. If your
bootloader is LILO, you'll need to run */sbin/lilo* after making the
changes.

Probably remove the SWAP-hda6 definition in /etc/fstab.

... and of course, as Allen Kistler points out in his reply, make sure that
there are no remnants of */dev/hda6* being referred to as a swap partition
in */etc/fstab.*
In my haste, I had forgotten to include the obvious. ;-)

I am using grub, but I do not have any "resume" line in /boot/grub/grub.conf
file. Can there be any hidden params?

No, normally not. ;-) Most likely it was just that you had forgotten to
clean out */etc/fstab* then. ;-)
The /resume=/ entries passed to the kernel at boot time are for hibernating
- or what the kernel developers call "suspend to swap" - and most
distributions add those entries to the bootloader configuration by default,
even for desktop or server machines. ;-)

but I do not have any SWAP-hda6 entry in /etc/fstab and the message still appears

Please post the contents of */boot/grub/menu.lst* - or */etc/grub.conf,* if
that applies to your distro - as well as */etc/fstab.*

I have just your same problem:
- correct entry in fstab
- no strange parameter in grub.conf
so I tryed to add, as kernel booting parameter (in grub.conf):
resume=/dev/sda6
resume=LABEL=SWAP-sda6
but no one of this two was good.
So I just added 'noresume' and now it seems to me that every things
works correctly, my swapping partition too.
If anyone knows more about this, please explain it.
