booted a live USB. one of the partitions is now of type "swsuspend". my sleuthing has led me to decide it's a corrupted fs.
I've got a different hunch from the others expressed in this
thread: your computer is trying to restore from a (corrupted)
hibernated session.
But beware: it's only a hunch. At this point it is as (in)valid
as all the others :-)
/If/ this is correct, and the source of it is a swap partition, then recreating
the swap /ought/ to be a simple solution. From a live boot, I might do:
mkswap -L swapper /dev/<name>
then edit /etc/fstab, changing the swap entry to use
LABEL=swapper swap swap defaults 0 0
instead of UUID=<yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada> swap swap defaults 0 0
However, easier would be to strike the E key at the installed system's Grub menu
and replace the resume= entry with noresume, then proceed with boot, and when
booted, do what I wrote above.
