Hi Innova,
maybe one of the following could cause this boot message
- an interrupted hibernation of your Linux system
- a missing swap partition on your Linux system
- if this is a dual-boot with MS-Windows please ensure to have your MS-Windows shut down properly (and not hibernated) before booting Linux
- when running gparted you may have change the partition setup somehow so they got assigned new UUIDs. After hibernating the system it usually resumes from the swap-partition, maybe that got changed?
regards,
-p.

Hi P
I only have this OS on the HD, machine is IBM T43 laptop. Can this be repaired somehow?

Can you open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and then look for the UUID specified in there.
Then open Configure your Computer -> Local disks -> Manage disk partitions; then select your "/"-partition, click on "Toggle to expert mode" and look at the UUID of your "/"-partition. Are the two the same?

Hi, innova,
Re: Your slow boot:
Although I'm just a "pretend Ninja" (pinoc counts as a real Ninja), I suspect that your problem is similar to one I had until recently. If you take a careful look at this discussion thread, I think it may have some suggestions which will help you:

"[SOLVED] "waiting for device sda6 to appear (timeout 1min)" notice." 2 June 2010.
It's a bit lengthy, so you will need to piece together the steps to try. You'll also need to do some detective work on your system beforehand, to determine how your /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab look and what your blkid (UUID) partition numbers are.
I took some notes for myself when I fixed this, and it worked (thanks to DLWood and old-polack). In case it helps you, here is the general outline of what I did. Warning: The blkid numbers, partition designations, fstab and initrd filename are all specific to my system; they may be different on your system, so check carefully before you make any changes to your system.
OK, here goes ... This is for reference to get you started. How these files looked before I made The Fix (outlined below).
/boot/grub/menu.lst :
--- Code: ---title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux
root=UUID=63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b
resume=UUID=7406f562-54be-462f-be43-8758c3b59257 splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img
--- End code ---
/etc/fstab :
--- Code: ---# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b / ext4 defaults 1 1
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=a2497eba-f580-463e-960f-ef99e6bf4be1 /home ext4 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda6 :
UUID=7406f562-54be-462f-be43-8758c3b59257 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---[root@localhost david]# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="a2497eba-f580-463e-960f-ef99e6bf4be1" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda6: UUID="b6cfb349-3a9c-4c32-aa16-4406a9fa0784" TYPE="swap"
--- End code ---
===== The Fix =====
For many, giving the swap partition a label, changing fstab and menu.lst files to reflect the swap label change, and then renaming (or deleting) the initrd file and running the mkinitrd command fixes the problem.
Step-by-step:
1. Give your swap partition a label (see old-polack's reply #32 for instructions)
Try this, as root;
--- Code: ---[root@localhost ~]# swapoff /dev/sda6 <Enter>
[root@localhost ~]# mkswap -L SWAP /dev/sda6 <Enter>
[root@localhost ~]# swapon LABEL=SWAP <Enter>
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s <Enter>
--- End code ---
If your swap shows as mounted and running after the last command, having been called by the label, your labeling has succeeded.
2. Replace "UUID=########" with "LABEL=<your swap label name>" in:
/boot/grub/menu.lst [that's a small "L" in "lst", and not a number 1] and in /etc/fstab.
These are both text files and you must edit them as root.
After editing my /boot/grub/menu.lst, the relevant portion looks like this:
--- Code: ---title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux
root=UUID=63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b
resume=LABEL=SWAP splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img
--- End code ---
After making that edit, my /etc/fstab looks like this:
--- Code: ---# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b / ext4 defaults 1 1
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=a2497eba-f580-463e-960f-ef99e6bf4be1 /home ext4 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda6 :
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
--- End code ---
After editing, my blkid designations are these:
--- Code: ---[root@localhost david]# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="63f75e7a-ca71-43f9-b798-4f8c6983b47b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="a2497eba-f580-463e-960f-ef99e6bf4be1" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda6: LABEL="SWAP" UUID="de88f4a5-9957-40ed-a813-e08a819d7d22" TYPE="swap"
--- End code ---
3. Find the "initrd" file in "/boot" for the kernel you are using. It will look something like "initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img" Rename it (I just add an ".old" at the end"). You must do this as root.
4. As root in a terminal, run the command:
--- Code: ---mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img 2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs
--- End code ---
Be sure to replace your kernel name for the one in the example above. (My /boot/initrd is initrd-2.6.32.11-pclos2.bfs.img ).
5. Reboot.
Good luck and HTH,
