Title:
  resume from hibernation broken when resume image is autodetected

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I found a reason of non-functioning resume from hibernation when
  resume partition/file is autodetected by intiramfs hook /usr/share
  /initramfs-tools/hooks/resume.

  Here is the scenario:
  1) hook /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/resume creates config conf/conf.d/zz-resume-auto saved in initrd image, containing one variable: RESUME=UUID=106238b0-707d-4422-866d-a7534da50702 in my case

  2) during boot init script sets 'resume' variable to 'RESUME' value
  from conf/conf.d/zz-resume-auto, then it executes local-premount
  scripts including local-premount/resume

  3) resuming script local-premount/resume (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume) tries to get resume device major-minor numbers by these lines:
  DEV=$(readlink ${resume})
  DEV=/sys/class/block/${DEV##*/}/dev
  if [ -r "$DEV" ]; then
          read MAJMIN < "$DEV"
  fi

  4) next check fails and resume process silently aborts:
  if [ -z "$MAJMIN" ]; then
          exit 1
  fi

  Resuming script fails to get device major-minor because
  resume=UUID=106238b0-707d-4422-866d-a7534da50702 -- it's not resolved
  into device path in init script.

  Commonly mentioned workaround is to explicitly specify kernel
  parameter resume=UUID=106238b0-707d-4422-866d-a7534da50702 -- only in
  this case init script resolves it to device path.
