Try and remove all instances of /dev/s??? from your /etc/fstab , /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume files and replace them with UUIDs. The
blkid
command will list the UUIDs for all partitions. Do this in 2.6.20-15 so you can see the "old" /dev/s??? syntax and match it to its UUID. Please be careful and *take a back up of your /etc/fstab* because failure to make this change correctly can stop your system booting into any kernel. I repeat, this change is not for the faint of heart (although if you do slip up you can probably use a LiveCD to copy the backup /etc/fstab back to the right place).

I'm not sure what the best practice for DVD/CDROMs is /dev/s??? references is... I'm speculating that using the /dev/cdrom symlinks might be OK over in Bug #117413 but haven't seen any word that this is the "correct" thing to do.
