I'm trying to help a friend over the phone, so I don't have all the details, but I would be happy for some pointers if anyone has them
The machine with mostly up to date debian unstable on occasion decides to lock up for several minutes after or at the point of mounting the swap partition. Previous time that happened starting a different kernel solved the problem. This time all kernels showed the same issue, we though that it was in a hard lockup, but after several minutes it freed up and continued booting. We tried running swapoff -a, mkswap and swapon -a. On the call to swapon the machine complained about not finding the swap's UUID (which didn't match the value reported by mkswap). The only information in /etc/fstab regarding UUID is commented out. Any ideas about what the problem is and/or how to disable UUIDs altogether as they seem to be giving constant trouble? thanks _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
