Waiting for device dev/disk/by-id/ata-...-part2 to appear

问题：

平台：Oralce VM Virtualbox的虚拟机Opensuse11.4

导出该机器的OVA文件后，把该OVA文件导入虚拟机，开机启动时报如下错误：

Trying manual resume from /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA-MK1246GSX-28FGTI70T-part1

分析：

原因是Opensuse的一个新的默认设置，从10Sp1版本开始，存储设备（硬盘）由原来的名称相关变为ID相关。
说明：

以前的硬盘描述为sda、sdb等，硬盘的分区描述为sda1、sda2、sda3等；

而如今硬盘与分区的新描述，例如：

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA-MK1246GSX-28FGTI70T

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380013AS_4MR2NSD8

其分区描述，例如：

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA-MK1246GSX-28FTTI70T-part1

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA-MK1246GSX-28FTTI70T-part2

问题在于，在虚拟机Opensuse机器上硬盘是用ID来描述在配置文件做相关记录的，而目标机器（即存放OVA文件的物理机）硬盘是不一样的，会有不一样的ID记录名称，所以导入后的机器才无法找到硬盘而不能启动成功。

解决：

只需在原来的Opensuse机器上修改两个配置文件即可。这两个文件是
/etc/fstab
/boot/grub/menu.lst
在这两个文件中，我们需要找出每一个类似下面例子的名称，例子如下：
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA-MK1246GSX-28FGTI70T-part1

然后把它们改成
/dev/sda1
注意分区名称对应如下：
-part1  ->  sda1
-part2  ->  sda2

步骤如下：
确保有权限修改文件，打开文件，修改完毕后，按ESC退出输入模式，然后输入:wq保存修改。

sudo vi /etc/fstab
sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

重启电脑确认一切照常，然后就可以导出OVA文件了。

举例：

以下是这两个文件修改前后的内容变化：
