After you turn on your PC, and the PC's branding and/or BIOS information screen(s) clear, you should get a brief menu that offers an opportunity to select how to proceed. Usually that opportunity is presented by a bootloader application named Grub, which in Stretch is version 2.0x. The menu you see is a result of the content in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. /boot/grub/grub.cfg is created programmatically whenever a kernel is added or removed and various other times. The programming that creates it can be customized by user changes to the files in /etc/grub.d/ and in /etc/default/grub. You can change the behavior of any particular boot by striking the "e" key when the boot menu appears, then adding, removing or modifying what appears on the screen after striking the "e" key. It is at this point that you can remove the current stanza string that begins with "resume=", or modify it to prepend "no" and remove the characters that follow "=". If the boot-time edit produces a result you wish to keep, you should modify GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in the file /etc/default/grub to include "noresume". Once that is done, the next time /boot/grub/grub.cfg is rebuilt via grub-mkconfig or update-grub your changes will be automatically incorporated. cf. <https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.config-bootloader.html#sect.config-grub> <https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Invoking-grub_002dmkconfig.html#Invoking-grub_002dmkconfig> <https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/grub2-common/update-grub.8.en.html> <https://docs-old.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/sn-medialess-editing-grub-conf.html> (stanza) $ man /etc/default/grub An additional option to answer the original question would be to reconfigure swap to be smaller than the amount of installed RAM. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
