liquidzoo Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 label="263-13"root=/dev/hdg1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-13mdk.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hdg11 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only Why do you have resume=/dev/hdg11 here instead of /dev/hde11? Also, did you re-run lilo after you made these changes? Just type lilo and hit enter. Also, why are you wanting to suspend anyway? This option has never worked correctly for me in Mandrake. Did you run the swapon command I gave you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockybalboa Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Ouch you caught me. I meant for the resume line to read hde11. Although it doesn't give me any error on boot, despite the fact that it's clearly wrong. I can't figure out how I should be getting the error involving hdg5. I am not trying to suspend. If you are refferring to the resume lines, they were there when I first opened lilo.conf. Haven't tried hardware suspend mode and don't intend to. Or does the suspend have to do with the fact that it's a journaling file system? Additionally, I get the resume errors listed earlier when ever I try to boot the -13 kernel. What would happen if I edited out the resume part of the lines? Yes, I ran the swapon command. It gave no output so it either didn't work or it worked without a problem. I'll go back and edit the errant lines. I doubt it will change my problem, but that's a highly uneducated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Editing out (or removing completely) those lines will definitely solve your resume problem. If the swapon command didn't error, it worked. Just for reference, here's my lilo.conf file # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=794 default="linux" keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-rc3.1mdk label="262-0rc31" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-rc3.1mdk.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe devfs=nomount" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.2-3mdk-i686-up-4GB label=262i686up4G-3 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.2-3mdk-i686-up-4GB.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk-i686-up-4GB label=263i686up4G-7 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk-i686-up-4GB.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-2mdk-i686-up-4GB label=266i686up4G-2 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.6-2mdk-i686-up-4GB.img Is this a laptop or a desktop? If it's a desktop, you don't need the resume= part for sure. Delete it, re-run lilo, and reboot. Everything should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockybalboa Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Another mess solved! Deleting the resume entries did the trick. Everything seems to be working ok. The first couple of boots went really slow. What does this message mean drakboot[4355]: check_geometry_using_the_partition_table failed for (hde1, 14346044): 892,254,62 vs 1023,2,62 with geometry 155061/16/63 It's from the bootlog. While trying to pinpoint the reason for the slow boot (and curiosity's sake) I found it. My greatest concern is that after all this partition juggling there might be something screwed up that will sneak up later. I particularly don't like the idea that it's talking about the boot sector. Thanks again for the help! DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
