Suspend2: Swapwriter: No swap signature found
 

Hi Everyone

I can't get Suspend2 working :-(
This is a part of my dmesg:

Adding 1052248k swap on /dev/hda4. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1052248k

My lilo.conf:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-dev
# initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux-2.6-dev
append = "resume2=swap:/dev/hda4"
# append = "resume2=file:/dev/hda3:0xad4bc8"
read-only

I'm sure that /dev/hda4 is my swap space. Why does swapwriter not detect this? Is it because swapwriter is started before the swap partition is activated? And if so, how do I change this?

Slackware-current, 2.6.17.13 kernel

How (when) did you format the swap ???.
IIRC Pats instructions will format it as v0.
Issue a mkswap (without the -v keyword) from your 2.6 kernel against your swapspace, and then see how you go.

No luck with v1 :(

Hibernating works, but resuming not.

Suspend2 2.2.7.6: Missing or invalid storage location (resume2= parameter). Please correct and rerun lilo (or equivalent) before suspending.

Thanks for your reply, any more ideas?

Two things I'd look at;
- did you rerun /sbin/lilo after any changes to the lilo conf ??.
- have a look for an update for suspend2; 2.2.8 is mentioned for 2.6.18 on the homepage.

- did you rerun /sbin/lilo after any changes to the lilo conf ??.
Yes I did.

- have a look for an update for suspend2; 2.2.8 is mentioned for 2.6.18 on the homepage.
I know there's a new version available, but do I have to compile a new kernel for that? (It took me 2 nights to build a custom 2.6 kernel for my Toshiba laptop :p)
The version I have is 2.2.7.6-for-2.6.17 from 15-Sep-2006.

Same error with the 2.6.18 kernel :(

append="devfs=mount acpi=on resume=/dev/hda2 splash=silent nolapic"
# Change the /dev/hda2 to your swap partition"

This did the trick :-)
