[Grml] Re: Grml Digest, Vol 20, Issue 23 hibernation responss

Sun Dec 24 15:26:58 CET 2006

Jake,
I did have grub resume. It managed to resume once, without shutting off all 
power to the machine (and that means also yanking power from the supply. 
Upon restoring power, that's when my issue happened. Is that more clear? :)
Regards,

--Keith.
