Help! I rebooted my Etch server (was not having problems prior), and
it stops early with:

Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount . . .
kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/hda2) = hda2 (3,2)
kinit: trying to resume from /dev/hda2
Attempting manual resume
attempt to access beyond end of device
hda2: rw=16, want=8, limit=2
I/O error reading swsusp image.

/dev/hda2 is my swap partition

I'm a real newbie - What's the easiest way to get past this?

Someone else just had a thread about problems with swsusp (suspend to
swap). You can search for that thread, but I'd suggest you boot with
the install CD in rescue mode, run a shell on your system, run aptitude
and remove swsusp. Then again, I never need to suspend.

Thanks. I'm not sure what happened, but I'll admit I was working in
KDE prior to my reboot. I didn't intentionally suspend, but
apparently something tried to do that!
