Unable to access resume device (LABEL=swap - hda2)

[George Hare]

Hi Al,

That is one of the messages I get get when I boot up . I'm running Fedora6
64 bit, Athlon 3200+ and some other stuff that I got no idea what it is. I
had 1G and added another 1G of mem so I thought I would increase the swap
space some. Now it looks like I have no swap running now and the graphical
utility I used to increase it diisappeared during an "Update"...wouldn't
that be a "Downdate"?
Also, I get the message cannot mount locations 0 - 000 on device 00000 and
it has been more than 30 years since I smoked anything.
Thoughts are much appreciated.

That's your system trying to see if you'd hibernated your system (which
would dump RAM contents to the swap space, to be restored when powering
up again).  If you hadn't hibernated your system, there wouldn't be any
resuming information to find.

If the problems down to it not finding your swap partition because it
can't read the label it's expecing, you can use the old-style /dev/hda
mount points rather than labels in your fstab file.
