You can check which swap partition was configured to be the resume partition by looking in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume -- this is used by the tools to build the proper initrd image, which should know what disk partition to look at to resume. It's presented via a partition UUID, which can be translated to the standard dev node by looking at /dev/disk/by-uuid/, which contains symlinks from the UUID to the /dev node. -- JM Ibanez Software Architect Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd.
