swsusp: cannot find swap device - or is it an ACPI error?

I have a similar problem.

The only difference is that my swap partition is not on an LVM volume.



After the fresh install of Dapper hibernate was working perfectly.

The problems started (I think) after I removed my older Breezy
partition which

caused the partitions (for dapper) to change:

- root partition changed from /dev/sda8 to /dev/sda7

- swap partition changed from /dev/sda11 to /dev/sda10



based on the information in this thread and especially this one
http://tinyurl.com/nv4bc

I suspect some files are still pointing to the older /dev/sda11
partition.



At least /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume did, so I changed it from


Code:
--------------------
    

  RESUME=/dev/sda11

  
--------------------


to


Code:
--------------------
    

  RESUME=/dev/sda10

  
--------------------


But that didn't solve the problem



I also noticed that my grub file didn't have the resume= option set in
defoptions

Not sure if it was there after initial install, but I added it now to
be sure.



swapon -s shows me the swap partition is available:


Code:
--------------------
    

  Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority

  /dev/sda10                              partition       1052216 0       -1

  
--------------------




Still I get the "cannot find swap device" error



Any hints please ?
