Can’t you be more specific as to where is that “on some line of kernel”?

Sigh…

Please, you have to be more talkative. You have to explain exactly what
you did. In this case, what exact file you edited, and what exactly you
edited on it. I can make guesses, but it would be preferable that you
told us :slight_smile:

More, I need more.

Assuming that you are using grub2, I’d guess that you have edited
“/boot/grub2/grub.cfg”, but you could have saved me guessing and said so
explicitly, and thus got an explicit answer 6 hours ago.

Well, changes to that file do not survive. Instead, you have to edit the
file “/etc/default/grub”, this entry:


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/disk/...."

And then, read the comment at the start of that file, and do what it says:


# If you change this file, run 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg'
# afterwards to update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
