Resume: Could not stat the resume device file After Update

Peace!

I  -Syu and rebooted to this error:

resume:
Could not stat the resume device file '/dev/disk/by-label/hda1'
Please type in the full path name to try again
or press Enter to boot the system:

Figuring it must be something weird happening to the suspend procedure, I wanted to skip it and boot normally. So I pressed Enter... to no avail.

Waiting for devices to settle .... done.

Root device ' /dev/disk/by-label/hda2' doesn't exist, attempting to create it.
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use 'echo *' instead

If the device '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2' gets created while you are here,
try adding 'rootdelay=8' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$

Now, I'm starting to think its not just due to the suspend procedure and maybe something more. Afterall, I did not suspend, I rebooted. I remember updating the kernel, klibc and perhaps udev.

I wanted to try adding the rootdelay thing but the grub menu wouldn't show up.

Sobs..

I really need to research on failsafe fallback procedures... some kind of ultimate undo feature.
