No idea what the particular problem means there, however .... Ubuntu 10.04?
How about instead:
From which version?
To which version?
Because as you likely know, you're not supposed to jump major long term release versions in multiple. I.e were you going from 8.xx or 9.xx to 10? Or going from 10.xx to something other than 12.xx?
The reference is to the "hibernate" state in laptops. When a laptop hibernates (as opposed to just going to sleep), the complete contents of the core are copied to the swap partition and then the machine powers down and switches off. In this state it doesn't use any power at all except for the coin battery that powers the clock.
When you switch the laptop on again, the kernel will check if there is a resume image on the swap partition. If so, it will bypass the rest of the boot sequence and just copy the image back into memory and you will be where you left off.
When you install a distro, the installer will ask whether you want the swap partition used during to installation to be your resume partition. Usually the answer is yes.
It’s an informational message that refers to resuming after hibernation. From the initramfs-tools man page:
Quote:
The resume hook tries to autodetect the resume partition and uses the first swap
partition as valid guess. It is possible to set the RESUME variable in
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume. The boot variable noresume overrides it.
