Sorry, new kernel is 2.6.17. to install suspend2.
I believe using LVM, but I'm not sure.

see
/dev/mapper/*

lvm(8) and lvdisplay, vgdisplay, pvdisplay...

mount(8) output

In effect, initrd is not present ! I rode this lines in my menu.lst :
title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.171915
root        (hd1,4)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.171915 root=/dev/hdb5 ro quiet splash
savedefault
boot

So, I suppose that's the center of the problem, but actually, I don't know how to solve it.

You need to run mkinitrd with appropriate parameters on created initrd dir.
See a small howto here:
http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/Kernel-Build-HOWTO/en/x543.html
or use google (and man) to find out howto involve mkinitrd.
