    Unable to access resume device (SWAP-hda6)

    Hi there!

    I'm having some problems with swap partition. During the boot time I'm
    getting the following annoying message:

    Unable to access resume device (SWAP-hda6)

    Here's what Anaconda generated into my fstab:

    LABEL=SWAP-hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

    I even tried to changed the above line with this one:

    /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

    and it didn't help. I'm still getting the annoying message, hibernation
    does not work (probably because the system can't access to swap
    partition during the boot process) etc. Does anyone have any idea what
    the heck is wrong? I found no related bugs on Red Hat's bugzilla (and I
    even don't know to which package this bug is related to), but I found on
    Google that some people experienced the same problem as well:

    Thanks in advance. Cheers!

    I had the same problem today here. I figured out the initrd file also makes an internal copy of /etc/fstab during creation as well. And I had some changes in my partition layout after kernel installation (which caused the problem).
    The solution for me: reinstall the kernel rpm:
    download from one or another mirror and then
    rpm -i --replacepkgs kernel....rpm
    This will trigger mkinitrd which re-reads your (hopefully correct) /etc/fstab en create an initrd from that.
    (an althernative would be to run mkinitrd yourself).

    Let me know if it works.

    try to do(as root):
    e2label /dev/hda6 SWAP-hda6
    this may help.

    try this "/sbin/mkswap -L SWAP-hda6 /dev/hda6" reboot, or read man mkswap.

    One cannot create a label on a swap partition with e2label

    Kind regards,

    yeah, you are right, i forgot e2label is not for swap.

    It did help, thanks. I didn't have to create initrd, reinstalling the kernel packages went just fine.

    thank you meijer.o
    I had exactly the same problem as garincha described on top. Your solution worked for me. I also did "swapon -a" after "/sbin/mkswap" command.
    I had never seen my laptop successfully come back alive after hibernation and now it works !! thanks again!
