You should be able to apply a label to whatever swap partition you have
on this machine with 'mkswap -L ...'. Just be sure to fix fstab if it
is using an existing label to reference it.
I'm surprised that not finding a swap partition to check for a resume
state would be a fatal error though. If adding the label fixes it, you
should file a bug report. Was the source machine cleanly shut down and
running from a live CD when you made the copy?
