Xubuntu stalls at 'No resume image'

I've been trying to strip down my Xubuntu 8.10 install a bit, removing unwanted packages and setting it to auto login (security isn't important for this install). Now when I boot, it gets most of the way through before I get

kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uid/<uid here>
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...

After I get that it just hangs. Does anyone know what may be the cause of this?

It can't find the first hard drive, please boot your machine and take the second (recovery) option, and copy out your /etc/fstab file. scp it to another machine, and post the contents here.

I would have thought it would just skip past.
From the boot menu, highlight the boot option and hit "e" to edit it - then likewise for the kernel line. Change the resume=<blah> to noresume.
Then "b" to boot it - it's a transient change - this boot only.

Interesting suggestions. I looked at the boot options but none of them had resume, I tried appending it but it made no difference. I can't get past this problem in recovery mode either but I've got my /etc/fstab file from booting off a live cd.
