swapon -s shows one line like this....
Filename                                      Type     Size    Use    
Priority

with nothing else listed below.

cat /proc/mdstat does show md1 as active (auto-read-only)

Do you mean replace "resume=/dev/md1" with "noresume"?

Also, while at this point I don't envision hibernating this machine, you
never know. Is there a different fix without disabling hibernate? Will
subsequent grub installs pick up this noresume flag?

Many thanks,
