My 10 cents worth:

I was puzzling why my bootsplash had vanished on some (but not all) machines upgraded to the Hardy beta when I found this thread. The suggested fix works for me:

On all the machines concerned the UUID in /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume was indeed wrong.

The observation is that on all these machines I had also installed 64 bit Ubuntu after the original 32 bit install and told it to use the same swap partition. Presumably the 64 bit install had assigned a new UUID to the swap partition but it hadn't had any side-effects until the upgrade.
