Hello
My wife's computer is pretty slow, so I've attached and old hard drive
into a hard drive enclosure and hooked it into her USB port for
additional swap space. It used to work. The swap space is supposed to
be /dev/sda1. The problem is that for some reason when I rebooted this
morning with a new kernel, /dev/sda does not exist anymore...
Hm. So the only thing you changed was the new kernel? Might help to
know why you built the new kernel. What problem were you solving by
doing it?
I would try booting the machine without the USB swap disk and then
hotplug it when the machine is already running. What does dmesg say
then? Can be simpler to interpret when you know exactly which lines
were printed in response to the newly connected drive.
