Re: Upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze
My box is ALMOST working correctly, but not quite...

On my system, there are two files in this directory, "resume"
and "driver-policy". The "resume" file contains:
RESUME=UUID=a6948969-2d88-4ec0-93a1-6d2d803ff8b3
which specifies the UUID of the SUSPEND/RESUME device. It matches the
UUID of the swap device specified in /etc/fstab. The "driver-policy"
file contains:
# Driver inclusion policy selected during installation
# Note: this setting overrides the value set in the file
# /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
MODULES=dep
I have created both of these files:
:/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d$ cat resume
UUID=305ee6c5-c60c-4167-a57c-e13c96ed1e79
:/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d$ cat driver-policy
# Driver inclusion policy selected during installation
# Note: this setting overrides the value set in the file
# /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
MODULES=dep
Then, I reran: update-initramfs -uk $(uname -r)
which also caused lilo to run. My lilo.conf file is as follows:
:/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d$ cd /etc
mns@xander:/etc$ cat lilo.conf

If I append the 'noresume' kernel option in /etc/lilo.conf then the
system boots without halting, but my swap is not mounted. If I run:
sudo swapon -a
nothing happens. If I run
sudo swapon /dev/sdc1
then the swap is properly added. My swap partition, BTW, is now 4GB and
resides on my new 1TB drive. This IS NOT the boot drive.
If I DO NOT append 'noresume' in /etc/lilo.conf then the system still
gives me:
Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount ... resume: libgcrypt version 1.4.5
resume: Could not stat the resume device file '/dev/mapper/vg1-swap'
Please type in the full path name to try again
or press ENTER to boot the system
Note that it is still looking for the OLD swap partition, NOT the new
partition on the new drive that is listed by UUID in /etc/fstab and also
in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf/resume.
In this case, just as before, my swap IS NOT activated and I need to
explicitly specify the swap partition in the swapon command. I can not
use swapon -a.
What am I doing wrong, here? I have bash scripts which depend on
'swapon -a' working, so I really need to figure this out.
