   Good ole dracut has hardcoded the UUID of / and swap into the image you are   
   booting, :( and resume is usually swap's UUID found in grub's   
   /boot/grub/menu.lst.   
      
   So, clicking up a terminal   
       su - root   
       dracut -f   
   will fix your image and you either change swap (resume) UUID or remove   
   which is what I do.   
      
   # head /boot/grub/menu.lst   
   timeout 5   
   color black/cyan yellow/cyan
