Subject: [gentoo-user] Screwed up swap while trying to get hibernate working; help
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:54:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081031035456.GA4974@waltdnes.org> (raw)

  I ran hibernate once unsuccessfully.  I forgot to put "resume=" into
my lilo.conf (oops).  I finally did that, but now, hiberate gets to...

hibernate: Running /usr/sbin/s2disk ...
s2disk: Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a). Reason: No such device

...and backs out gracefully.  According to "fdisk -l", swap is there...


[d530][root][~] fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd0000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda7             550       60801   483974158+  83  Linux

...but according to swapon, it's not...


[d530][root][~] swapon -a
swapon: /dev/sda6: Invalid argument


  What did I did?  And how do I straighten it out?
