Hi

I have "successfully" (that's what the messages said) installed knoppmyth R5E50 under Fedora 5 kernel 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 > VMWare 6. That hardware and VMWare6 version is successfully running Win XP Pro SP1 and connects various USB2 devices.

Now, when I boot the KnoppMyth virtual machine I see the following message scrolling quickly on the console

Suspend2 2.2.8.4 Missing or invalid storage location (resume2= parameter). Please correct and rerun lilo (or equivalent) before suspending.

The VM has 256Mbyte memory.

Any idea where the or what the problem could be or how to fix it?

I am trying to run a Freecom / AVerMEdia USB DVB-T device with KnoppMyth. Anyone had success with that device?


Thanks

Know and ignorable. You may also notice some initial warnings from udev and apache.

Thanks for the very prompt reply.

Unfortunately, the suspend2 messages just seem to loop until the following failure messages

/linuxrc: Out of file descriptors
/etc/init: Out of file descriptors
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

after about 15 seconds-ish

It loops with the suspend2 message.
I am a Slackware expert, but I don't quite know where to look here to disable that.

On real systems one needs to change the /etc/lilo.conf file. The append="....." line needs to contain a clause like:
resume2=swap:/dev/hda2 noresume2 (with the hda2 replaced with your actual swap partition, of course). Then you will need to rerun lilo.

Thanks Dale

the Fix



lilo -v

works perfect

Thanks.
Any chance that gets into the "pamphlet"? Or maybe it is, and I didn't see it?

Well the install scripts are supposed to do it 'right', but don't always. I'm trying to get a fix now for inclusion in the next release.

I've added something to the R5E50 upgrade hints under Known Issue #5.

Just another thing:
Adding the "append=" line is not enough for a SCSI disk. The reason is that the driver module isn't loaded yet at the time suspend2 gets initialized.
I am using a SCSI Raid, and had to load the modules at the start, in the initrd.
