Bug#347886: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7: Software Suspend: "Unable to find swap device"

[Johannes Rohr <jr.debian@rohr.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7
Version: 2.6.15-1
Severity: normal

Hi, I've been trying to use software suspend which is enabled in this
kernel version. Strangely, software suspend complains:

"unable to find swap device. Try swapon -a"

This is the contents of /proc/cmdline

root=/dev/hdb5 ro resume=/dev/hda6 resume2=file:/dev/hdb5:0x18a5d

(resume2 is intendend for other, home compiled kernels and should be
ignored by this one)

this is the output of "swapon -s"

Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda6                               partition       1052216 149524  -1

This is the result of "grep swap /etc/fstab":

/dev/hda6       none            swap    sw              0       0

Finally, I should say that the same problem occurs with Software
Suspend2 - unless I use the file writer backend instead of suspending
to a swap partition, see bug #312218.

The only thing special about my box that I can think of is, that I
have two hard disks which Debian being installed on the second one.

Thanks,

Johannes
