Grub screen for a few seconds
Two lines looking for SD 4:0:0:0 [sdb]
Seems normal except looking for 4:0:0:0 as SDB and not finding anything
so it gives up eventually?
Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device
On this laptop I get something with a similar flavor.
However, it stays on the screen long enough that I can see that a
specific option has been asked for but is not available. I've not
investigated further as it occurs only on this physical machine
otherwise continues normally.
a few more lines
Boot process decides this is a very slow hard drive so decides to wait

I frequently get that on the *FIRST* boot on a fresh system.
It is looking for the SWAP partition.
The cause, in my case, is two fold.
I experiment multiple configurations on my machine.
For my use case the Debian installer has two annoying "features".
I explicitly say "features" because, all though it bugs me [pun
intended], I believe it is intentional and what a TYPICAL user
wants/expects.
1. If installer installs grub to boot partition it always gives priority
to the most recent install. *NOT* desirable when experimenting ;}
2. If you want a swap partition used, there appears to be noway of using
the existing SWAP without changing its UUID - thus breaking all other
installs :<
My procedure after an experimental install is:
1. Run update-grub from my default install.
2. Edit etc/fstab to point to the same swap partition that all other
installs use.
YMMV
