Description Stephen Warren 2005-12-04 19:05:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051118 Fedora/1.5-0.5.0.rc3 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
When booting, the initrd runs, and prints out these messages:

...
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
cdrom: open failed
  Found volume group  "vg0" using metadata type lvm2.
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0" now active
label SWAP-sda6 not found
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda6)
...


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.14-1.1735_FC5 mkinitrd-5.0.10-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot kernel

Notes: Installed fc5test1 from CDs. It installed the SMP kernel. I then did a "yum install kernel" to get the non-SMP kernel, and am booting that.

Looking at the initrd, there's a line in the /init script that says:

resume SWAP-sda6

I assume that's where the problem comes from 

Actual Results:  An error message is displayed about not being able to find the label.

Expected Results:  Error message shouldn't be printed


Additional info:

FYI, no functionality appears to be lost for me (although I haven't tried suspend/resume - I assume that's broken)

I can do this once booted:
swapoff /dev/sda6
swapon LABEL=SWAP-sda6

so I know the label is there. Also, a "dd|od -a" on the partition shows the label text.

The system is a Dell 9300. It has a SATA HDD (and ATA DVD drive). To install, I shrunk the NTFS partition they installed, and put all the Linux partitions into an extended partition:

[root@esk initrd]# sfdisk -uS -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 12161 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0

Comment 1 Stephen Warren 2005-12-04 19:07:21 UTC
Oops. The line in /init on the initrd really says this:

resume LABEL=SWAP-sda6


Comment 2 Stephen Warren 2005-12-06 19:58:24 UTC
This seems to be fixed with the latest devel updates - I don't see the error
message any more.
