hi Stan, you are absolutely right. There was a swap partition on my PATA drive. On my new Suse 10.2 installation on the SATA drive, the swap partition is on /dev/sda2. So I should change it to that? if possible, can you please point to the (online) documentation on the suspend/resume function in GRUB? I have tried several queries on google but are not getting useful information back. tia,

With an editor is probably quickest but you can get to it through YaST, System, Boot Loader. Your default boot partition has 'resume=/dev/hda1' or similar. That should be a /swap partition. You probably need to change that to reflect your new disk layout. I bet you had a /swap partition on your PATA drive and its gone now.
Don't forget to remove/stop using the 'noresume' parameter on the boot line.!.!
