That "Unable to access resume device (/dev/sda3)" isn't normal, it
usually says something different IIRC.
Therefore I would guess it can't talk to your drive properly.
Recent kernels couldn't bring up a network device on one machine here,
staring at it further /proc/interrupts showed 0 interrupts associated
with that device. Adding pci=biosirq to the kernel commandline got that
working again, so give it a try. Press 'A' at the grub prompt and addit
on the end of the bad kernel's commandline.
