OK, thanks! I am not sure I understood this correctly, but here is what
I did:

sudo yum update -y (this brings back the new kernel and installs it).

rpm -q --scripts kernel|tail -2
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/bin/kernel-install add
3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 || exit $?

So, this appears to match whatever you have written above. Now what
should I do?

So, add this resume=/dev/sda2 to the stuff on  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX ? Any
way to do this without the hardcoding for resume?

Thanks again!

This perhaps needs also to be added onto the heplful bug report in: 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=948177

?

Thanks again!
