Same issue as everyone else. I have my system(/home and the likes) on the SD Card and /boot on the internal SSD. I have my OS installed this way is because my Laptop BIOS doesn't allow booting directly from SD Card(perhaps because internally the SD Reader is connected via the PCI bus) This way the laptop boots to the regular destination(Internal SSD) then GRUB loads and then I can select my desired OS, then GRUB will find the Kernel(/boot) and then handoff to the SD Card. This all works as expected with the only problem being that my system will not suspend no matter how I try. I see a flashing cursor on screen while trying to resume from suspend and then I will get read-only errors. The only way to get past this is to do a full reboot. Most of the time requiring a full fsck to fix the orphaned inodes, etc. So what is the advisable solution? Is the problem the fact that my SD Card reader is on the PCI bus and therefore is having trouble with the hotplug driver? Could a plausible solution be to disallow the system from unmounting my SD Card? I mean after all this SD Card while *removable* isn't actually going to be removed during operation of the system, much less while in hibernate. As far as I can tell the system unmounts all sd cards so as to prevent data loss, assuming that it can be removed during suspend, and that is all fine as the majority of people benefit from this decision however how do I disable this feature? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
