I think I have the same problem after upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 (i386) on my notebook. Disk was named hda in 7.04 (kernel 2.6.20) but it is sda in 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22). And resume after boot is looking for hda6 (swap partition) but cannot find it. When splash screen is active, it is deadlock as pressing ENTER from user is expected to confirm this message but message is not visible. And ENTER cannot be entered, I have reboot. When I boot without "splash"parameter to the kernel, I can see in text console the problem.

When I choose "recovery mode", I can boot the Ubuntu 7.10 without problem.

I can update with screenshots if anyone is interested.

Several problems:
- splash screen doesn't capture message with expected input from the user; it results in deadlock that newcomer cannot fix :-(
- distribution update process created wrong ramdisk (reference to hda disk that doesn't anymore as it was renamed to sda disk in the new kernel).
- is missing resume disk so critical error that confirmation from the user is needed? I cannot find this information in any log file anyway (dmesg, /var/log/messages, etc).
