Sorry, new kernel is 2.6.17. to install suspend2.
I believe using LVM, but I'm not sure.
see
/dev/mapper/*
lvm(8) and lvdisplay, vgdisplay, pvdisplay...
mount(8) output
In effect, initrd is not present ! I rode this lines in my menu.lst :
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.171915
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.171915 root=/dev/hdb5 ro quiet splash
savedefault
boot
So, I suppose that's the center of the problem, but actually, I don't
know how to solve it.
You need to run mkinitrd with appropriate parameters on created initrd dir.
See a small howto here:
http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/Kernel-Build-HOWTO/en/x543.html
or use google (and man) to find out howto involve mkinitrd.
