As I said before, it's the uswsusp package. it's trying to resume a
suspended system, but it can't find the volume which claims to hold
the resume image. You can either purge uswsusp, or if you want to keep
it around, at least point it to your swap partition so it can look for
and fail to find a resume image. Then it should at least gracefully
fail and allow a seemingly normal boot. Look in your
/etc/uswsusp.conf and set the resume device properly. Then rebuild
your initrd's with update-initramfs -u.

Essentially, what is happening is uswsusp is looking for some
partition on which it thinks it could find a resume image. But that
partition apparently doesn't exist and rather than do a normal boot on
a system that might have been suspended, thus risking file system
damage, it's doing the smart thing and asking you what it should
do. If you specift that partition properly in /etc/uswsusp.conf then
it will find that partition, confirm that there is no resume image
there and then proceed with a normal boot.
