   Nothing, or noresume, IMO.

   dracut, or in SUSE systems, "mkinitrd", creates an archive that is   
   loaded with the kernel during boot (as a ramdisk), containing modules   
   the kernel needs before it reads the root filesystem and finds modules,   
   but also a minimal tree with configuration files, such as a copy of the   
   needed fstab.   
      
   You system was booting with the old archive that had the previous copy   
   of those files.
