suspend2 fails to boot for first time

I've installed suspend2 following the wiki instructions (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suspend_to_Disk ) but when I reboot I get an error about

root fs cannot be detected

and

can't translate /dev/sda1 into a device id

It also suggests to try setting rootfstype which I tried and it didn't make any difference.

This looks like the error is the one mentioned in the "Editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf" section of the wiki but I have the things in the right order:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems resume"

And to prove it:

mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26beyond.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]
:: Parsing hook [ide]
:: Parsing hook [scsi]
:: Parsing hook [sata]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Parsing hook [resume]
:: Generating module dependancies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26beyond.img'...SUCCESS

My menu.1st looks like this:

title ArchLinux Fresh Boot/Restore
root   (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/sda8 resume2=swap:/dev/sda1
initrd /boot/kernel26beyond.img

I'm using reiserfs 3 on a sata drive.

Can anyone suggest what I could be doing wrong?

Re: suspend2 fails to boot for first time

I assume that you generate the image running a different kernel than kernel26beyond. I that case, you have to specify a -k option to mkinitcpio. Reinstalling the kernel package should also regenerate the images properly.

EDIT: I updated the suspend to disk howto in the archwiki. Maybe that helps.

Re: suspend2 fails to boot for first time

I've tried that and it still failed so I tried removing the resume2 line from the parameter list and I got a different error:

failed to parse block device name for /dev/sda8

Going through the wiki again I noticed that you had swapped the order of resume and filesystem in the list of HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. I tried swapping them and re-generating the image but that still resulted in the same error.

checking the forums I found this http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=24184 which implies that it is a driver/module issue with either ide or sata.

Booting with the fallback image works but is missing my nvidia drivers

Output from mkinitcpio -M

Modules autodetected:
cdrom
ide-cd
ide-core
generic
via82cxxx
mii
tulip
via-rhine
libata
sata_via
usbcore
ehci-hcd
uhci-hcd

Any more ideas?

Re: suspend2 fails to boot for first time

nvidia is not related to this. You have to install nvidia-beyond for the beyond kernel.

Any more ideas?

There is an sata module here, but no filesystem module. Try if removing "autodetect" from mkinitcpio.conf works. Also the beyond kernel has some libata patches in it that may break things. I have to know more about your system to be sure what is wrong.

Re: suspend2 fails to boot for first time

I'll give that a try

Something I forgot to mention was I'm now getting this error when running  mkinitcpio

mkinitcpio -k /boot/vmlinuz26beyond  -g /boot/kernel26beyond.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]
find: /lib/modules//boot: No such file or directory
find: /lib/modules//boot: No such file or directory
:: Parsing hook [ide]
:: Parsing hook [scsi]
:: Parsing hook [sata]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Parsing hook [resume]
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26beyond.img'...SUCCESS

could this affct things?

I only meant to mentioned the nvidia in passing, I'm happy to concentrate on one thing at a time.

I tired without the auto detect but that failed in the same way.

What more do you want to know about my system?

From running the normal kernel

Ask for it and I'll try to get it.

Something I forgot to mention was I'm now getting this error when running  mkinitcpio

mkinitcpio -k /boot/vmlinuz26beyond  -g /boot/kernel26beyond.img

the right -k option is like this:

mkinitcpio -k 2.6.17-beyond  -g /boot/kernel26beyond.img

Re: suspend2 fails to boot for first time

That fixed it.

Nvidia didn't work but that was because I haven't  setup the nvidia-beyond driver yet and the network didn't come back up but I'll check around the wiki and forum to see what other answers there are out there for that.

Thanks
