Stuck on "Start job is running for dev-disk..."


Hi,
After reboot it stuck on "A start job is running for dev-disk...42.device":

I found that Swap partition could be responsible for that so I have commented it out in fstab, but with no luck. Any ideas how to fix that? File system itself look ok.

That's a hibernation resume failure. Have you tried a reboot or turn off & restart? The turn off & restart restarts more things.

Does the swap partition still exist, or have you removed it?
If it still exists - Is it properly initialized as swap?

Another thing you can try is to edit the boot options and remove the resume partition from the boot flags.
You can do that momentarily by editing the flags at the boot prompt, or you can do it permanently in the YAST / Bootloader dialog.

The fstab file is one way it can get stuck on a device/partition. The boot option for a resume partition is another. Yet another are partitions marked as members of raid or a LVM physical volume.


In this case, supposed you have moved the swap to another partition, then change the resume partition option in the boot flags to point to the correct partition and rebuild the boot.

The problem was with wrong VMWare hard disk type. I didn't mention it is a VM.
