(Get the code!)
I encountered the problem with 7.10. The system has been fine since I upgraded from Feisty, but after changing the screensaver and monitor power saving timeouts, I hit recurring a problem where the mouse and keyboard were frozen, though the system was otherwise up. The last time, I found the keyboard was in fact available, so I pressed ctrl-alt-del and selected "Resume" from the KDM screen. After that, I hit the problem described here.
I didn't see any changed config files, and I figured this was only a temporary problem, so I didn't want to make any changes to my config files if I could avoid it. Norbert BRONDEAU mentioned the initramfs-tools man page, with the quote: "The boot variable noresume overrides it" [the RESUME variable].
So I rebooted, and used the grub "e" command to edit the "kernel" line and append "noresume". The system then booted OK... relief! I did a normal shutdown and rebooted to check the system was back to normal, and it was. YMMV, of course.
