Ok, so, the nice thing about this, is that if you mount swap by UUID,
then you don't really so much care when and if it ever changes the
device ID during an upgrade or something, because the UUID doesn't
change, where the device name (/dev/sda3) can.

So, first thing, what happens if you type 'swapon -a'?

Second, can you verify that the UUID of that partition is still
53682bbd-4fcd-4d8c-81a6-7da4e9dc3ece ?
