multiple drives, 'Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device'
For a desktop install from a thumbdrive of testing RC3, there were three
drives plugged in to the motherboard. One drive was the installation
target. The other two had old installs, RC3 and Wheezy.
Bizarrely, the resulting fstab has two swap partitions. One from the
target drive, and a second from one of the accessory drives. I
commented the second swap line out of the fstab. The new installation
boots fine with or without the second swap as long as all three drives
are attached.
All other references in fstab to the target drive.
If remove one of the drives, the new install has problems booting with
or without the second swap. Booting takes a very long time, etc... One
message is 'Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device'.
Here is a possibly related thread:

When the boot menu appears, grub, there are options to boot the new
install, but also additional options to boot the old installs on the
accessory drives, even if those drives are not attached.
What is going on? How can I fix it? Or should I just redo the
installation with only the target drive attached?
