In my case, the boot message looked like this. The swap partition was deleted.
Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device
/dev/sda4 ... ...

First, look at the content of your fstab file,
cat /etc/fstab
will return this kind of output
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID=8c1977eb-ac90-426b-bc9b-a7fb2ec8d760 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=00fd67-123DE-4b98-aa17-2d4025aed54 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
Then you notice , "swap was on /dev/sdax during installation".
Recreate the deleted partition (fdisk or Gparted for instance), then
use this command to find the new uuid of the partition.
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
This outputs:
total 0

Update your fstab with the correct uuid that were displayed by the last command by copy/pasting the adequate uuid of the swap in the fstab file.
Then reboot, It should correct the problem.

options. Temporarily edit the GRUB entry and boot without these options. Pay attention especially to messages that stall and the ones directly after.ntfs-3g

. Next runswapon -a
and observe. It may complain. The partition you deleted might have been your swap partition.swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=3fd1..
, attempting to re-create it now. Additionally I've ran the installer forntfs-3g
, and it detects my NTFS partitions. Thanks for your help
