 Hey guys
Hi,

  I am having problem with hibernating my system (suspend to disk). I
  installed suse 11 a few days back only...

  It was working exactly fine earlier but now in it's log file, its
  stating:*resume partition
  * *'/dev/sda6' not active. cannot suspend'.*

  sda6 was my old swap partition for suse 10.3 which i delelted just yesterday
  (on 2nd hard disk). After that only its giving problems. My new swap
  partition exists on the 1st hard disk as well as the root.

Check your /etc/fstab file if the swap partition is listed properly.
There must be someway to check this in Yast too, but some suse user
can help better there.

Check and update /etc/fstab with the hard disk partition that is 
your new swap.

Yup, seems like your system is still using the older swap. You have to
edit /etc/fstab and replace the entry for the older swap with the new swap
there. That should fix it.

To do this from yast: Launch it, then go to System -- Partitioner. Once
you have the new Partitioner window up, see if your newer swap is listed
there. If yes, select that and click the Edit button. In the edit window,
define the mount point as swap. Make sure you don't edit any other
partition.

Best,
Atanu

Thanks for our help guys...but the swap is already set with the new
partition...in fact i'm currently using it.

Its still giving the same message. No problems with fstab. Dont know how to
change from sda6??

Anyone knows where to edit it's configuration files??

Thanks

The resume partition can be specified by either appending
'resume=/dev/swap_device' to kernel command line

OR

probably via some hack in initrd (not sure though). So, if you're
using an initrd based system and want to go through , I recommend
reinstalling the current kernel, which will probably rebuild the
initrd image. I'm not sure, if this is the recommended way to rebuild
initrd image on SuSE boxen.

 Anyone knows where to edit it's configuration files??
