    no swap and devices have changed? [solved]

    Hi,

    1. When I boot into gutsy as soon as the desktop starts I have to do 'sudo killall udevd' or the hard-drive races trying to find my external usb dvd/cd drive?

    SOLUTION: evms and udev are not working well together at all so:

    sudo apt-get remove evms and the problem goes away after reboot

    2. I also have no swap!-looking at fstab:

    /dev/hda3 should be the linux partition but the 'free' command shows it as /dev/sda3?

    My swap should be /dev/hda5 but gutsy cannot use it?

    SOLUTION: using sudo fdisk -l my swap is now /dev/sda5, changing the entry in /etc/fstab and swap came back-no need to reboot even. The /dev/hda3 partition was renamed at upgrade with a UUID line that uses /dev/sda3-which is what sudo fdisk -l showed.


    Thanks for any help.
Working...
