of course it's your swap partition! If you'd done some research on what swsusp is after we told you it's where the problem is, you'd have found that it writes the suspended system image in your swap partition. With the extra information of not attempting resume allowing it to boot, I'll wager that your swap contains a corrupted system image and is unusable as swap. free will show you no swap available. swapoff, format /dev/hda5, swapon. > Thanks alot guys for being so patient. > I should have sent the append line from the start! > > Mof. > > On Tuesday 11 November 2003 00:55, Jack Coates wrote: > > try rpm -e --nodeps suspend-scripts. > > > > On Sun, 2003-11-09 at 21:45, Mofeed Shahin wrote: > > > > reply-to still a problem.> > > > > > > Yeah must be something I've done with kmail. > > > > > > > On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 23:56, Mof wrote: > > > >> On Sun, 9 Nov 2003 05:28 pm, James Sparenberg wrote: > > > >> > On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 16:44, Mof wrote: > > > >> > > It appears that acpi and apm do the same thing, which is the > > > >> > > > >> prefered one to use anyway ? > > > >> > > > >> > > And if acpi is the prefered, how do I load up the right modules ? > > > >> > > > > > >> > > Mof. > > > >> > > > > >> > This order of commands should do it.
