So, step #4 could be avoided if you plan to update the kernel on your system. Thanks for the help, -- Patrice ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Put the entry into /etc/fstab 3. 'swapon -a' (This will ensure that your fstab entry is good. If it doesn't load up, something's wrong...) 4. Recreate your initial ramdisk. You could do something like: 'mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5' but I'd recommend creating a new ramdisk (different filename) and creating a new test grub entry... -I ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Changing swap resume signature location
1. Format the swap partition again: sudo mkswap /dev/XXX 2. Activate swap partition sudo swapon /dev/XXX 3. Replace UUID=XXX in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume by "resume=/dev/XXX" 4. Regenerate the initrd: sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.XX (same version as the kernel) On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 1:23 PM, Mag Gam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why not create a new swap partition and place it in /etc/fstab ? > You don't have to worry about swap signatures and all... > > > > > On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 8:05 AM, Patrice Guay > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> At boot time, the system is looking for a resume signature on the >> default SWAP partition that was defined during the OS installation. >> >> On several systems, I changed the location of the SWAP partition.

Re: [CentOS] Changing swap resume signature location
Why not create a new swap partition and place it in /etc/fstab ? You don't have to worry about swap signatures and all...

[CentOS] Changing swap resume signature location
At boot time, the system is looking for a resume signature on the default SWAP partition that was defined during the OS installation. On several systems, I changed the location of the SWAP partition. How do I change the location where the system looks at boot time for the resume signature?
