Public bug reported:

I’ve upgraded a server to bionic beaver, and it couldn’t boot anymore.
Using the “recovery boot” option hanged a long time with the message
"waiting for resume device".

Some googling lead be to the bug #206358, and I deduced that do-release-
upgrade “messed with my swap” (as said by @aldebx on there). This was a
LVM set-up with an encrypted swap, which may explain the bug.

My workaround, form the root login of the recovery mode was the following 
1. comment out the RESUME line in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 
2. rebuild the initramfs with update-initramfs -u
3. mount the /boot partiton to actually put the initramfs on the correct place

Now the systems boots again, but this problem shouldn’t have happened in
the first place.
