Tuxonice "invalid resume device"

I am on a eee 1000he.

I am trying to use tuxonice, the hibernate appears to work fine (writes cache, writes processes, etc, powers off), but when powering on it gives me "invalid resume device: /dev/sda6" (this is the swap partition I am trying to use).  I am happy to give more info (i.e. cat this file, ls this path, dmesg that) but I'm not sure what would be helpful to someone trying to diagnose this problem, so please if you have any ideas, let me know what information you need!

[EDIT]

I am not particularly set on tuxonice vs uswsusp, but uswsusp just turns my monitor black (backlight remains on) when I followed the steps on Suspend To Disk Arch Wiki.  If, however, anyone has uswsusp or another suspend to disk working happily (and with X) on a 1000HE I would love to hear what your using and any quirks/obstacles you had to overcome to make it work.

Hello drostin77!

"but when powering on it gives me "invalid resume device: /dev/sda6" -> Can't you see it really in the output of ls /dev/sda* or in the fdisk -l in root mode ?

Yup, I can see it in both.  Tux can suspendt to it.  Uswsusp can suspend to it but does not resume correctly.  The partition certainly exists.

You gotta use mkinitcpio 0.24 if you want to use tuxonice.

@lucke

  Now you sound like you know whats up tongue  how does one check the version? --version caused the usage prompt and a glance at the man page was not fruitful.  At the bottom the man page says it was written for 0.5.17 but... does this mean I need 0.5.24?

Pacman appears to have 0.5.26-1 on it, is that /too/ recent, or is anything > 0.5.24 ok?

pacman -Qi mkinitcpio to check the version. You need 0.5.24 or older. Get it from ARM, pacman -U it and rebuild the mkinitcpio image (mkinitcpio -p kernel26-ice if you're using kernel26-ice).

Re: Tuxonice "invalid resume device"

Indeed mine is too new... OK, this is going to go on the back burner for a day or two because I am so painfully close to making uswsusp work.  But if I fail to get it working I'll be back to your suggestion... thanks much for the help smile

Re: Tuxonice "invalid resume device"

Interesting. That might explain why I couldn't get it to work a few weeks ago. (I'm a dev's worst nightmare: whenever anything goes wrong, I always assume it's something I did. smile )

Edit: And it did! Hibernation works like a charm now. smile

Re: Tuxonice "invalid resume device"

thanks, could anyone send me the old mkinit package... It's not on arm any longer and the changes from the wiki do not work here.
