Software suspend dumps the machine state to a swap partition and then powers off the machine. On the next boot, the partition used for this is examined to see if it contains such a state dump. If so, it is restored and the machine should come up with everything running as before. If not, it is presumed that a non-suspend shutdown was done, and a conventional boot is done. Since swsusp writes to a swap area (generally) I would guess that that partition is neither a swap area nor a swsusp dump. An aborted suspend might do that (it shouldn't), or an uninitialised swap partition. You need to find out what partition it is looking at and whether it should be a swap partition (maybe not!) and whether it's in use.

Often the message will be prefixed with the daemon/program that emitted it. A competently written app will do that. Then consult the doco for that app (eg "man the-app-name"). This is more precise than Google. -- Cameron Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Indeed! But do not reject these teachings as false because I am crazy.
