Restarting after "suspend to disk"

silin · 07-16-2006, 04:04 AM

I have SUSE 10.0 and use suspend to disk very often to be able to start computer faster. I also have XP installed. The problem is that after suspending and restarting the computer Linux loads automatically skipping the list of operating systems in grub. Only after reloading in Linux it is possible to reload again into the normal grub menu. Is it possible to load operation system choice menu after suspending the computer (a laptop)?

No! The idea behind suspend is that you suspend the state of
your computer to disk and when you wake it up, you go back to where you where. If you were in Linux then you go back to
Linux.

Yes you are right. I'm talking about something else. After computer HAS ALREADY returned to Linux and you have worked in it for a while. Then I just want to reboot my computer and when I do it grub skips the operating system choice menu and loads linux directly. However if you just start a computer normally (not from suspend) rebooting brings you to this choice menu. What I'm asking is how to reboot your computer after coming back to linux.

Now I understand what you are saying this sounds like a bug.
