Startup fail: Error resume no device specified for hibernation

jmjamison · 2 July 2020 22:32

Startup fails immediately and the first and only message I get is "Error: resume: No device specified for hibernation". Other cases in the forums mentioning this error cite problems with hibernation, not startup. In my case, Manjaro is completely failing to startup: no grub, no command prompt, just a dead screen with this error message.

Background info: I'm using a Surface Pro and dual-booting Manjaro and Windows 10. Manjaro was working great for a few months after dual-booting ( was using both systems), but one day got this message (seemingly) out of the blue. When I get this message, I can't type anything on screen and the message stays on the screen for as long as I leave it before restarting or shutting down. I've gotten the same result booting from different kernels (5.6.3-2, and 5.6.31-1 fallback initrafs).

This looks like a total OS failure and I'm worried that I'm going to have to reinstall the whole OS from scratch (I would be reeeeeally bumbed since I spent a lot of time customizing things). Would appreciate any ideas if there's a way to get back into my existing Manjaro.

If the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf has the resume in the HOOKS line, but /etc/default/grub has no UUID entry for the resume device, then you will get that Error.

Boot in runlevel 3 aka press e in Brub Boot Menu, replace quiet with 3 in the linux/kernel line and then press F10 to save and continue booting.
Remove the resume from the HOOKS line, then run this command:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub

Thanks bogdan. I'm following these steps but seem to be ending up in the same place. Here's the steps I'm taking:

Press "e" on grub boot screen, which takes me to "setparams 'Manjaro Linux'"
In the Linux line, change "quiet" to "3" so that the line ends in "loglevel=3 3"
Press f10
Enter login name and password, which opens a command prompt, "[jmj@john ~]$"
4.5. there is no line with "resume"that I can see here
Enter"sudo mkinitcpio -P" and enter pass word. Runs and says "image generation successful"
Enter "sudo update-grub". Runs, finds what looks like all my disks. Says "done".
Type "reboot"
After rebooting, when presented with the list of operating systems, select "Manjaro Linux"
Receive same error: "error: resume: no device specified for hibernation"

Make sure Windows has not been left in a hibernation state because this could affect accessibility of your disks.

If not Windows is the reason for your issues then I would suggest to provide us with some more info of your system.

Boot into a live ISO, then run in a terminal

manjaro-chroot -a

Select Manjaro system, if only 0 is shown, enter 1.

Then enter in a terminal:

inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
lsblk -f
fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/default/grub
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Copy the text output here and use </> button to format it, nicely.

Afterwards, exit chroot.

# BINARIES

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the

##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.

#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default

#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.

Have you truncated the output of this command? The UUID entries are missing. Quite important info to verify your system configuration...

By the way acc. to lsblk output nvme0n1p6 is your active EFI partition but fdisk says type of this partition is "Microsoft basic data". This does not fit. Where has your grub been installed originally?

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap resume filesystems"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

For some reasons lsblk -f is not providing the UUID's.

Please, try again and try

sudo lsblk -f
sudo blkid

I need to know the UUID to verify your fstab entries.

It seems you have not updated for a while? Did you install something after your last update? A rolling release distro like Manjaro should be updated regulary to avoid issues.

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.

I didn't update in a while because the issue actually cane up a while ago. For the last few months I've been putting off finding a solution and just using my Windows. Now is the time to try to fix this.

Wollie · 4 July 2020 10:04

Then chroot again using manjaro-chroot -a as above and first try to update using:

pacman -Sc
pacman-mirrors -f
pacman -Syyu

Afterwards exit chroot, live ISO and try to reboot.

If you still have issues in booting I would try to reinstall grub:

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Restore_the_GRUB_Bootloader

jmjamison · 4 July 2020 10:47

Updating did not work very well at all. My os screen now only shows Manjaro and no windows. And Manjaro still send me to the same error screen.

I'll try restarting the grub as you suggest.

jmjamison · 4 July 2020 11:27

Marte, you are correct that a HOOKS line shows up in the steps suggested by Willie. That line did not show up in the steps from bogdan. If you have an idea why or what to do about it, please let us know.

Marte · 4 July 2020 11:30

If you don't want to use hibernation anymore.

jmjamison · 4 July 2020 11:31

I've followed the steps to restore the bootloader in the manager Manjaro forum linked above. I'm still getting the same error message and only presented with Manjaro. So as of now I just have a broken Manjaro os and no windows is: this is quickly becoming a worst case scenario.

Marte · 4 July 2020 11:36

If you want to use hibernation, then in /etc/default/grub, change

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=b602baa8-fdad-47f6-90df-45643f6701b7 loglevel=3 quiet"

and update the grub afterwards:

sudo update-grub

jmjamison · 4 July 2020 12:15

So after updating Manjaro and restoring grub (as suggested by Wollie), my grub looks different and again doesn't seem to have any HOOKS line. Copied below:

Marte, to your point, i don't really care about having hibernation. I thought I had it turned off in Manjaro actually and i would prefer not to have it turned on.

Good news that after updating grub again from the startup command line, Windows is appearing in my boot window again.

Marte · 4 July 2020 12:35

The HOOKS line

is in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
