You need to use the initrd. See the man pages for update-initramfs and maybe mkinitramfs. The initrd is where all the drivers get loaded and hardware is detected in an Ubuntu system. It is required for root to be on LVM.

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