Description Martin Vidner 2005-10-17 13:27:58 UTC 
I updated from 9.3 GM to 10.0 GM. powersave -U had worked before but did not   
work after, reporting "swsusp: FATAL: cannot find swap device".  
 
With some luck and Google help I noticed that the Grub entry for the system 
had been changed from resume=/dev/hda4 to resume=/dev/hda3. After I changed 
the boot menu entry and rebooted, suspend worked. 
 
My disk layout is as follows, with the 10.0 system on hda1 and swapping on 
hda4, and another SL on hda2 and swapping to hda3. 
 
Disk /dev/hda: 6495 MB, 6495068160 bytes   
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 789 cylinders   
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes   
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System   
/dev/hda1               1         522     4192933+  83  Linux   
/dev/hda2   *         523         718     1574370   83  Linux

The problem is that YaST recreates the bootloader sections from scratch. And it sets the largest swap partition to be used for suspending. I changed it in SVN so that largest used swap partition is used.
