swap space not mounting [solved]

[hawklord]

i am running mandriva 2008.1, fully updated,

 

i was running 2008.1 and i installed 2009.1 from the live cd, but kept my /swap and /home, i didn't like dolphin to much and it seemed a bit 'buggy',

 

i had made an image of my 2008.1 / partition (using partimage) and decided to image it back over 2009.1,

 

i have just noticed that my /swap does not mount at cold boot or a reboot but i can mount it through disk management,

if i logout and login it stays mounted,

 

does anyone know how i can fix this so my /swap mounts at boot

The UUID of the swap partition has probably changed.

 

Check the UUID of the swap partition with the following command typed as "root" user in a terminal:

 

blkid |grep swap

 

compare it with the UUID in /etc/fstab and replace the UUID in fstab for the swap partition if it doesn't match the output of the above command.

My thread here regarding Hibernation has a bit of info on Swap.
