Aha!  Try "/dev/sda5" instead of hda5.  All drives got treated as SCSI a
couple of versions back.  It's a device name, not a path.  And the
resume partition is the swap partition, not the boot partition.

If you never intend to hibernate and resume, that's a reasonable
solution.

I don't know that one.  You might want to a start a new subject with an
appropriate subject line about the particular problem.  Someone ignoring
this thread might chime in.
