Description nickcheng 2007-05-09 07:02:02 UTC
I installed RHEL5 several days ago and it works good.
Then I made kernel-2.6.20 and kernel-2.6.21.1 on my system.
When I booted up with kernel-2.6.20 and kernel-2.6.21.1, I got the message as below:

********************************************************************
********************************************************************
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2)

I make the kernel several times and never suffer this condition.

I found if I install the system on the SATA drive, it will show the error
message and panic the kernel.
But if I change to install on IDE drive, it works good.
Would you please check it out?
Thanks,

is it related ?

Yes, I guess.

Hi Alex,
So far, I still gt no clue with it.
Could you please throw me some light on it?
Thanks,

I have this problem also with F11

Sounds like a dupe of bug 544478.
