Wait a second here, you are the person who showed me how to set up fstab in 
order to get swap recognized in the first place,  Worked too.  However, three 
kernel updates since then and my fstab is no longer what you told me to 
change it to.  Swap now again has a UUID and is not recognized for 
hibernation purposes like it was when I first received my machine.
