Bug#599614: closed by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (Re: Bug#599614: linux-base: on upgrade /dev/hd<nn> not changed to /dev/sd<nn> in grub)
Hi Ben
If I wish to check this, what can I check?
In particular can I start with a clean setup (no resume line) and
reconfigure linux-base?
Should that put a resume line?

Well some (upgradation) put that hda13 -- not me :-) -- Ive never had an hda13.
So while it may not be a bug in linux-base its some bug somewhere --
could you suggest where?
For the record I am asking 2 questions:
The second which is possibly hard to answer is who/what/ put the wrong
partition numbers?
The main question is: What do I have to do to get a correct resume
line in grub without adding it myself?
Thanks
Rusi
