Start Job Running During Boot - 1m30s Timeout

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello Everyone,
I performed an in place upgrade from Leap 42.3 to 15. I have a dual boot system, with Windows 10 on separate physical drive. When booting into Leap, the boot process pauses, with the following message:

****] A start job is running for dev-sda2.device (1m /1m30s)

After a 1m30s count pause, the following is displayed:

Depend Dependency failed for resume of hibernation using device dev/sda2

The system then proceeds with the booting process.

sda is my Windows drive, but when I go into the YaST partitioner I don’t see dev/sda2 listed, only dev/sda1.

Anyone have any insight and or suggestions about this?

Thanks,
Don

cat /etc/fstab

as root:

fdisk -l

I have read here in several threads that Windows will not shutdown propperly by default, but will do a sort of hibernate and thus leave disks in a unusable state for other OSs in a multi-boot environment. To prevent thus fast boot must be switched off.

Can you also provide the output from:

grep resume /etc/default/grub
5

How can I paste the output of the commands so they don’t wrap?

OK, I went into UEFI utility and checked my boot options. fastboot was already disabled. While I was in there I disabled secure boot, but made no difference.

That’s all very hard to read. Best to use CODE tags for posting terminal output.

Fire up Yast bootloader. Or, in more detail:
Yast → System → Boot Loader

Click on the “Kernel Parameters” tab.

Look there for the string “resume=/dev/sda2”

Replace that with the string: “resume=UUID=e9018ea8-f358-4981-9eec-b16cb1140cd1”

Save the changes. Reboot, and see if that solves your problem.

This worked nrickert, thank you! Also thanks everyone for the advice about using code tags for terminal output.

A little more explanation.

The “resume=” parameter is the hibernation image. Normally, this is the same as the swap partition.

The problem with using “/dev/sda2”, is that the device name can change depending on what hardware is plugged in. So referencing the swap partition by UUID is safer.

I got that UUID from your listing of “/etc/fstab”, though it was hard to read (seems to have been all wrapped into one long line).

I’m glad to hear that this solved your problem.

Both the UEFI and the Windows fast boot must be off. WIndows goes int some semi-hibernate mode which stops any mounting by other OS
