At boot time, the system is looking for a resume signature on the default SWAP partition that was defined during the OS installation.
On several systems, I changed the location of the SWAP partition. How do I change the location where the system looks at boot time for the resume signature?
Thanks, -- Patrice Guay patrice.guay@nanotechnologies.qc.ca
Why not create a new swap partition and place it in /etc/fstab ? You don't have to worry about swap signatures and all...

1. Format the swap partition again: sudo mkswap /dev/XXX 2. Activate swap partition sudo swapon /dev/XXX 3. Replace UUID=XXX in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume by "resume=/dev/XXX" 4. Regenerate the initrd: sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.XX (same version as the kernel)

- Format the swap partition again: sudo mkswap /dev/XXX
- Activate swap partition sudo swapon /dev/XXX
- Replace UUID=XXX in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume by "resume=/dev/XXX"
- Regenerate the initrd: sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.XX
(same version as the kernel)
I cannot find the /etc/initramfs-tools directory on my system. Which package provides it under CentOS 5?
Thanks, -- Patrice

This is a Debian specific command. I am certain something like this exists for CentOS too...

Please, do not provide an answer if it is not directly relevant for CentOS. I found a similar receipe than yours after searching Google but I am still unable to find an answer for my CentOS 5 systems.

isnt that just mkinitrd on CentOS ?

Hmm... for CentOS this would be:
Become root (or use sudo - your choice...) 1. 'mkswap /dev/xxx' 2. Put the entry into /etc/fstab 3. 'swapon -a' (This will ensure that your fstab entry is good. If it doesn't load up, something's wrong...) 4. Recreate your initial ramdisk. You could do something like: 'mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5' but I'd recommend creating a new ramdisk (different filename) and creating a new test grub entry...

Updating the kernel also recreates the initial ramdisk. So, step #4 could be avoided if you plan to update the kernel on your system.
