I have been seeing the following message at boot-up for quite a while now:
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-hdc3)
It is printed right after a line about "Red Hat Nash version blah," and maybe a few lines before "starting udev [ OK]" (sorry, I'm going from memory here). It hasn't caused any problems and I seem to be swapping ok in general, however now I'm trying to get suspend/resume to work and I'm thinking that this might be the source of some of my problems.
The thing is, hdc is an optical disk drive, there was never any swap partitions on there. I noticed that I did have two swap entries in fstab:
LABEL=SWAP-hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdc3 swap swap defaults 0 0
I removed the incorrect line (hdc3), however I'm still getting this resume device error message and resuming from hibernation does not work (computer just boots up normally).
Here's some relevant info:

Note, I was using the suspend2 kernel from atrpms but then fell back to the stock FC6 kernel to experiment with making a new initrd with the correct fstab entries (I'm really not sure if fstab is parsed by mkinitrd or what that process is about, but it was worth a try). I'd experiment with the suspend2 kernel but it seems that it won't uninstall:
sudo yum remove kernel-suspend2

This issue alone is quite frustrating.
