This is a killer - I did a fresh etch install, then restored some mondo backup files using mondorestore. Things ere mostly working at that point. But then I did an update and upgrade, and now I am getting the same swsusp error I had before and can't boot! I have no idea where this is coming from! I guess I'll reformat my drive and start over! - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
