    Feisty gets stuck at boot, says "can not stat resume device file"

    Well, I just did some super tricky stuff trying to repartition my primary HD to get all file in one ext3 partition. I succeeded, and Feisty boots fine and I can use it just fine.

    Except for one thing...

    During the boot sequence, while the pre-mount script is running, Kubunutu hangs with a message like "resume: can not stat resume device file" and it waits for me to either supply the correct "resume device file", (whatever that is) or press ENTER to continue booting.

    I can't find this message in any of the log files, and it happens during the boot sequence so I can't copy-and-paste the exact message.

    My only theory is that something at boot is looking for the resume image of the old partition scheme, which I'm assuming was /dev/sda6 because that's where my swap partition used to be.

    I tried replacing /dev/sda6 with /dev/sda2 (which is the new swap partition) in /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab and every other place I could find it, but nothing changed.

    Edit: I looked at the message again; it's actually "resume device file" or something like that, not "resume image"
    Edit 2: My bad; the libcrypt thing was on the line before the resume device line.

    What is your system's response to

    Code:
    [sudo] more /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep 'resume' -

      ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
      # defoptions=resume=/dev/sda2

      resume=/dev/sda2 should be correct; that is the location of my only swap partition.

        Change that to # defoptions= (read: nope) and reboot - and tell us if this is going to make any difference ...(?).

          Nope, nothing happened. It still gets stuck with the same message.
