Re: Hibernate and GRUB

Could it be changed so the GRUB menu appears so the required OS is
started? Or is there a good reason for doing it this way?

Hi,

I think the grub menu is hidden to prevent users from accidentally rrestarting with a different kernel to that running when they hibernated, which causes no end of pain (if the share the same swap area, which almost all do). To my mind this is a good thing, but does mean you have to do a full reboot to get the grub menu to get into windows, if thats what you want.

Note that in FC we do NOT use swsusp2, but the in-kernel suspend functionality. I'm not sure of the technicalities but they are completely different beasts and might explain the differences. What happens with swsusp2 if you have multiple linux kernels ? What happens if you choose the wrong one on resume - How does it prevent corruption ?

cheers Chris
