Kernel parameters
You configure the suspend and resume support by adding parameters to the kernel parameter line.
where:
- resume=<device_node>
- specifies the standard device
node of the swap partition with the data that is required for resuming
the Linux® instance.
This swap partition must be available during the boot process.
- no_console_suspend
- prevents Linux consoles from being suspended early in the suspend process. Without this parameter, you cannot see the kernel messages that are issued by the suspend process.
- noresume
- boots the kernel without resuming a previously suspended Linux instance. Add this parameter to circumvent the resume process, for example, if the data written by the previous suspend process is damaged.
Example
To use a partition /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.b100-part2 as
the swap partition and prevent Linux consoles from being
suspended early in the suspend process specify:
resume=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.b100-part2 no_console_suspend
