Michael Hennebry:
Alas, for some reason it didn't do.
My FC8 has a boot partition.
I tried both resume=/dev/hda5 and resume=/../dev/hda5 .
FC8 complained that it couldn't find either one.
Aha! Try "/dev/sda5" instead of hda5. All drives got treated as SCSI a
couple of versions back. It's a device name, not a path. And the
resume partition is the swap partition, not the boot partition.
noresume got rid of the complaint,
If you never intend to hibernate and resume, that's a reasonable
solution.
but didn't solve the new mystery or cure
the supposed bad magic number on sda1.
Is there a way to ask FC8
What does it think the magic number should be?
What magic number is it getting?
From where is it getting the magic number?
I don't know that one. You might want to a start a new subject with an
appropriate subject line about the particular problem. Someone ignoring
this thread might chime in.
