[Bug 205990] Re: [hardy] splash screen disappears after a few seconds

[Joel Berger]

I am having this issue as well. I prefer a swapfile, but I lose my
usplash to get it.

>From watching the boot process I tend to agree with Ezra that the disk
is not yet mounted thus the swap cannot be found yet. However the swap
does get mounted eventually because I can 'cat /proc/meminfo' and see
the swap available.

My questions are, would there be any reason not to remove the swapfile
from /etc/fstab and instead swapon /mnt/swap from rc.local? I know its
clumsy but it might work.

Also does it matter that I call /mnt/swap from /etc/fstab rather than
the UUID that gets printed during the creation as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#Example%20of%20making%20a%20swap%20file

Thanks
