OpenSUSE leap 15: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2did-ata
This happens on only one of my OpenSUSE installation, while booting up and after grub, the system waits for 90 seconds. Here's the message from my boot.log -
Code:
ab-suse:~ # grep -i "timed out waiting for device" /var/log/boot.log
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2did-ata\x2dST1000DM010\x2d2EP102_Z9ADG7VA\x2dpart9.device.
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2did-ata\x2dST1000DM010\x2d2EP102_Z9ADG7VA\x2dpart9.device.
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2did-ata\x2dST1000DM010\x2d2EP102_Z9ADG7VA\x2dpart9.device.
The only related entry that I could unearth is in my grub.cfg file -
Distribution: openSUSE(Leap and Tumbleweed) and a (not so) regularly changing third and fourth

Rep:
The system appears to be looking for a swap partition in /dev/sdb9. Did you have one at some time? You should also check your /etc/fstab file and /etc/default/grub. in the latter file there must be some ref to a swap file in the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX.." which you can remove if necessary. if not look through the rest of that file.

I don't and never had a /dev/sdb9. The OpenSUSE installation actually overwrote a mint installation, but the filesystems were wiped and reformatted (but not repartitioned).

I have only 1 swap entry in my fstab, as I have shown above. Also, it's from /dev/sda6 which is on a separate disk (ssd).
I do not have anything in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg in the line of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. I am on CentOS at the moment, but here's the grep result on OpenSUSE's grub.cfg . So either the string is something else or there's something wrong with my grub.cfg.. [I have grepped the correct file, be assured]
The only hint I can see is in the resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM010-2EP102_Z9ADG7VA-part9 line on my grub.cfg file. Can this line be removed safely ?

### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
I just found this. Apparently this guy used noresume to suppress hybernation, but I have no idea how to do that.
I also found this & this, but it only shows how to remove hibernate from kde launcher.
So am I correct in understanding that -
a. Either I edit the grub.cfg file manually and put my swap space (/dev/sda6) in place of the spurious (& non-existent ) /dev/sdb9 entry [which might not work in a successful hibernation since I mostly have 3-4 VMs running all the time and have a 16G of RAM but only 3G of swap.]
b. Or I use the 'noresume' option to disable hibernation functionality [and by extension, get rid of the 90second wait] ??
Thanks a lot for the pointer peteIq, I have fixed this.
What I did -
1. Edited 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX' in /etc/default/grub and removed the part resume=xxxxx.
2. Backed up my old /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and created a new config file by grub2-mkconfig. Saw that the resume=xxxxx part did not generate on the new grub.cfg. rebooted.
3. Since the multiboot is handled by CentOS, rebooted & logged on to CentOS and created a new grub menu.
4. Problem solved.
