Bug Description

Using Jaunty I had my system set up to use a swap file instead of a swap partition. I added 'resume=UUID=7ae6109b-6d75-4e93-93d4-0466804c97b4 resume_offset=557056' to the default kernel options to properly resume from hibernate. Before upgrading to Karmic I decided to install grub2 to see if it would work with those options. I took the necessary steps to add them to grub2's configuration and everything worked well. However, after upgrading to Karmic my computer takes ten minutes to boot if those two resume related options are on the kernel command line.

Booting without 'quiet splash' the system appears to hang after these messages are printed to the screen:

[ 7.608079] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[ 7.628028] sd 4:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
[ 7.648025] sd 4:0:0:2: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk
[ 7.688020] sd 4:0:0:3: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk

However, if you wait for about ten minutes, the boot process continues with this message printed after the above:

[ 644.440694] PM: Starting manual resume from disk

And then things continue on from there. Again, this is on an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, and using kernel 2.6.31.14.27

Updating this bug to report that even after deactivating the swap file and creating a swap partition, the boot process still seems to stall at the same point with the only difference being the delay is around five minutes instead of ten.

While it would technically be inaccurate to say that Karmic broke resume from hibernate for me, the five (or with a swap file, ten) minute boot delay that wasn't present in Jaunty rather thoroughly kills any convenience of the feature.

I have the same problem, that karmic needs 10 minutes to boot.
But I have an fresh karmic installation with an swap partition.
I just deactivated the swap partition but the boot took again 10 minutes.

Before that I used jaunty with an boot time under a minute.
After upgrading to karmic and finally a fresh karmic installation I get the above results.
