Hi,
Suspend and hibernate with Ubuntu 8.04 on my Asus P5Q3 never wakes up. At best, I get a black screen with some a garbled corner on it. Researching it shows it is apparently a common problem. My mobo has Intel's newest (bleeding edge) P45, DDR3 chipset.
I found one solution, installing uswsusp and trying s2both. It complains:
s2both: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory
When I installed it, it asked if I wanted to install it "without a valid swap device". I have 3 swap devices on 3 separate hard drives totaling 25 GB:
root@godzilla2:/tera/nt.snap# grep swap /etc/fstab
UUID=7356e42c-2aa3-46ca-aacf-6efdd1cfec18 none swap sw 0 0
UUID=8e4a7444-6e14-49f7-81ee-190534eeacb5 none swap sw 0 0
UUID=9152f370-051a-497f-a4bf-3f5a679acb7e none swap sw 0 0
The reason I had to go to the weird UUID method for fstab was that on almost every boot, my SD A, B, C and D devices were randomly scrambled. I took careful notes and any one of my 4 drive subsystems would be SDA. I have a Velociraptor as the main system drive, a 1 TB deathstar for backup, a 640 GB data/windoz drive and a 3TB RAID 5 deep storage drive.
Most of the times I tried to boot with the standard /dev/sd{ABCD} in fstab, the boot would fail and I had to go in as ROOT and reassign the SD a, b, c and d devices in fstab to suit the random allocation of the day by looking at gparted /dev/sd?. The UUID fstab trick gives me consistent boots and mounts.
Is there a way to have s2both recognize the UUID disk or to have the boot sequence not randomly assign my hard drive devices?
Thank you,
Brian
