Stupid of me. I saw 'FAT32' in the fdisk output and paniced, something
horrible has happened to my partition table! but, no, it was my iPod's
partition table all along. Foolishness is, as they say, its own reward.

Once upon a time it didn't, so I added

resume=swap:/dev/sda2

I've just taken that out again. That's the last absolute disk device
reference anywhere on my system, I think/hope.

btw, ToI saved my bacon when I rebooted just now. I forgot to say
noresume, and the old swap partition from the last failed-resume boot
popped up:

[    7.088360] TuxOnIce: Image found.

So, thank you! That would have been the corruption from hell, since the
system had been running for a day in the middle doing all sorts of
stuff. :)
