Had this problem (on debian), with the info given here and a bit of extra thought i got it figured out and fixed.

The problem was that the ram disk used in the boot process was made when my swap partition was /dev/hda2. The problem appeared when i had to rearrange my hard disk and moved swap to /dev/hda5.

The fix was updating the ram disk using update-initramfs.

BUT, That didn't fix it straight away.

I noticed that it had updated the ram disk for the latest kernel, but my grub entry was still calling a previous kernel version.

So, anyone for whom the update-initramfs didn't help, check the the ram disk updated corresponds to the one actually used in the boot process!!
