[Solved] Kernel 2.6.17-beyond, suspend2 and raid swap.

Hi all,

I'm using the 2.6.17-beyond kernel (x86-64) and would like to resume with suspend2.

My root and swap are parititions are software raids and this seems to cause some undesired behaviour.

The resume (hook?) loads before the software raids are assembled durring boot. That mean it can't find / (/dev/mdX) or swap (/dev/mdY), hence I can't resume and it fallbacks to a normal boot.

So, is there a way to force the raids devices to assemble before the resume?

Some info from mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES="sd_mod sata_sil sata_nv raid0 raid1 ext3 reiserfs"
HOOKS="base udev resume"

grub.conf
[code]
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/md2 ro md=2,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2  md=6,/dev/sda6,/dev/sdb6 resume2=swap:/dev/md6
[code]

Thanks in advance,

Nicholai

If you want raid assembled before resume, add the raid hook before the resume hook.

That did the trick. Suspend2 works like a charm.

Thanks for the quick reply.
