hi all, I installed Suse 10.2 last night (upgraded from 10.0). So far, I like it a lot. The boot-time has improved, the art works looks good. But it is not without (minor) issues. In time, I'm sure I can find solution to most of them, but for now, I seek your help on the following issue.
My primary harddrive is SATA (/deb/sda) with a PATA drive (originally in /dev/hda) as my data-drive. Initially, my PATA drive has linux partition on it, but I have decided to change it to a VFAT partition to I can share the PATA disk between my Suse and Windows. so, I logged-in as root, fired up yast2 and used the partitioner to modify the drive to my satisfaction. Formatted the drive, reboot into windows-xp, and made sure that it is visible under both xp/suse. Then I rebooted back to Suse 10.2. To my surprise, the boot process halted mid-way with an error message: I/O error reading swsusp image. Initially I thought this was a swap-partition problem. Since I was able to boot into fail-safe mode, I doubled checked my /etc/fstab and made sure that no swap partition is allocated on my PATA drive. Still, the regular boot process cannot be completed. Since I can boot with fail-safe mode, I decided to play with the GRUB option. I found that if I put "noresume" into my boot option, the Suse will boot with no ill-effect. So, I suppose somehow the suspend/resume function (btw, is it new to Suse 10.0?) is causing the problem, but I have no idea of how/where to fix it. The file /etc/suspend.conf is all commented out and with no reference to /dev/hda. Can anyone please shed some light into this issue? tia, _________________________________________________________________ Be one of the first to try Windows Live Mail. http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-4911fb2b2e6d-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
