Kernel's resume parameter generated empty in the rEFInd config.

[mskiptr]

A while ago I installed Manjaro using manjaro-architect. As a boot manager I used rEFInd, I chose to use a swap file and enabled hibernation. Then at each boot, the following message would appear for a brief moment – no mater if I hibernated it or not. hibernation device 'y' not found – like here It would always boot fresh – forgetting any hibernated state.

It turned out that Hibernator didn't alter the rEFInd's refind_linux.conf correctly – the value of resume parameter was empty. The generated refind_linux.conf had the following contents:

"Boot with standard options"  "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc   resume= resume_offset=34816"
"Boot to single-user mode"    "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc   single resume= resume_offset=34816"
"Boot with minimal options"   "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc resume= resume_offset=34816"

Whereas the refind_linux.conf.old was:

"Boot with standard options"  "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc  "
"Boot to single-user mode"    "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc   single"
"Boot with minimal options"   "ro root=UUID=201d14ba-667a-447b-a3aa-3333130e7cfc"

It seems like the root_part function failed somehow. I am not sure why though. All the commands work fine on the installed system, so maybe manjaro-architect is the culprit here? Maybe it didn't set up fstab correctly for some reason?

I can confirm that this problem occurs on an another machine. Unfortunately I forgot to check which commands were failing there.

Thank you for reporting. Hibernator not working correctly in chroot is a known issue. I'll try to get it fixed when I can, but it might take some time. Pull request are welcome if someone else has more time.
