Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

Hi!

I followed the wiki instructions and booted up to a kernel panic.

When hook has filesystems in it,

Running Hook [filesystems]
Loading root filesystem module ... -e
Attempting to create root device '/dev/hda2'
Error:Failed to parase block device name for '/dev/hda2'
unknown
Error: root fs cannot be detected . Try using rootfstype= kernel parameter
Initramfs completed - control passing to kinit
IP-config: no devices to configure 
kinit: Unable to mount root fs on device dev(0,0)
kinit: init not found!
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

When i switch the filesystems hook to ide,

.
.
kinit: unable to mount root fs on device dev (0,0)
kinit: init not found...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

What wiki instructions?
Contents of your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (without comments)?
What's your bootloader and how about the contents of it's config file (menu.lst/lilo.conf)?

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

You need

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26suspend2 ..

as it says in the wiki.

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

a couple of feedback regarding hibernate;

1) I have to /etc/rc.d/network restart else there's no internet.

2) I can't seem to hibernate with opera running. Firefox gives no problem though.

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

Did you have more luck with suspend2 using the -suspend2 kernel than with the -beyond kernel? For some reason, suspend2 completely ignores the memory dump on my swap partition when I turn on the computer after a hibernate. It just boots normally, except that there is no swap partition anymore because it was overwritten by the hibernate script.

None at all, as long as you make sure you have the matching nvidia package for each kernel package e.g. nvidia-suspend2 in this case.

1) I have to /etc/rc.d/network restart else there's no internet.

Read hibernate -h carefully, and edit /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf accordingly. You can incorporate any daemon restarts of that sort into the overall suspend/resume process - look for the StopServices/StartServices directives.

Did you have more luck with suspend2 using the -suspend2 kernel than with the -beyond kernel?

You're saying that it works fine with beyond, but not with suspend2? Using the same config?

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

Nonono, hibernate doesn't work on -beyond: the hibernate script seems to complete well, but when I turn the laptop back on it completely ignores the stored image on my swap partition. I've passed the correct kernel option though.

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

Anyone can shed some light on how to get internet back on after suspend?

When I uncomment the Upinterfaces eth0 in common.conf, the system fails to resume to desktop. I get a black screen with a cursor occasionally.

The same think happens when I uncomment both upinterfaces and downinterfaces line. Changing from auto to eth0 also doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Read my post above again - the solution is there.

Re: Kernel Panic After Installing kernel26suspend2

i tink i get what u're referring to.....

In man hibernate.conf,

       RestartServices <service> [...]
                 The services listed are stopped before suspending and started
                 after  resuming. The service name must correspond to the name
                 of an init.d script that is active in the current runlevel.

However, I can't figure out the bold part. I can't find the init.d script. Is it /etc/rc.d/ in arch?

If so is the appropriate line

RestartServices network

Also, suspend2 seems to work on and off(unreliable). Sometimes it works, most of the time it hangs while resuming giving a black screen occasionally with a cursor.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
