Had this problem (on debian), with the info given here and a bit of extra thought i got it figured out and fixed.
The problem was that the ram disk used in the boot process was made when my swap partition was /dev/hda2. The problem appeared when i had to rearrange my hard disk and moved swap to /dev/hda5. The fix was updating the ram disk using update-initramfs. BUT, That didn't fix it straight away. I noticed that it had updated the ram disk for the latest kernel, but my grub entry was still calling a previous kernel version. So, anyone for whom the update-initramfs didn't help, check the the ram disk updated corresponds to the one actually used in the boot process!! -- Boot process asks for "resume device file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
