Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
There appears to be a number of reported bugs that skirt round this issue
bug 103672 could be related
in a nutshell
normal linux maintenance activity can result in the UUID of the swap partition altering this leads to various symptoms
such as
unable to enter hibernation (pc returns to password prompt)
unable to resume from hibernation
swap partition doesn't mount on boot
machine appears hung with flashing cursor
I have seen reports in the forum of swap UUID changing with reboots
The swap UUID can change
a) If you use uswsusp
b) If you install another Linux distribution (swap is often reformatted).
c) sharing swap windows/linux
It might be possible to do something about by making it recreate the swap with the same UUID as it had before.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
