Or it will resume looking okay, but there is corruption somewhere. And it's not necessarily limited to minor corruption - the whole filesystem could get corrupted, you could lose EVERYTHING on it. Even if you just want to boot to Windows, you usually have a few different kernel versions in grub. If you chose one of those by accident, you would get this nasty surprise, too. Plus, even though windows rarely mounts linux partitions, linux could have easily had the windows partition mounted (to read/write the documents). I suppose you COULD hack together a system which will make damn sure that no partitions of hibernated system are mounted (including swap!), but that's not a common setup. If you're able to do that, then you're already able to make grub pause at the choice :) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
