[Solved] I've been really clever (Locked myself out of the system)

Hi, I've done something extremely clever: I wanted to try out suspend to disk on my MacBook. I generated an new initramfs with an uresume hook. The whole resuming thing didn't work though.

Upon rebooting I get a prompt telling me that the system can't resume (fair enough) and I can skip it by pressing enter. However, my MacBook's keyboard doesn't work at boot-time (well, at least not at this prompt).

How do I get past this error message? Can I restore an initramfs with something like Knoppix?

If you use grub, use the fallback initramfs. kernel26-fallback.img

I'm guessing here, but you could try adding the usbinput hook to make the keyboard work earlier.

Okay, that did the trick. I forgot about GRUB since I had the timeout set to 0.

Thanks!
