That's normal.  It's just looking for a suspend to disk signature in swap, where
a suspend to disk it going to store it's restore information.

Just guessing... seems that laptop actually booted up?  Just didn't give
your a GUI login... correct?

You logged in using your username and password and
got a shell prompt.  Right?

Just want to better understand what is happening before troubleshooting...

Assuming you did log in and get a shell prompt, can you do

who -r

what runlevel does it show?
