When I boot CentOS 5.5, I receive the message:
Unable to access resume device ( UUID = some UUID etc. )
How do I find out what actual device to which this UUID refers ? It does not appear to be a block device since it does not show when I try 'blkid'. To what does "resume device" refer ?
The boot succeeds but I would like to know what this messages means.
UUID?! "resume" must be set to that UUID in /init in your initrd. Updating/recreating your initrd should fix this problem.
How does one "update/recreate" the initrd image ?
Why would initrd hard-code a partition UUID ? If the UUID changes, which it has in my case when I had to move and reformat the swap partition, then the initrd image is now wrong.
