There are a few causes of this:

1) you haven't compiled the right fs support into the kernel.
2) you haven't compiled the right drivers for the device. For a USB device
maybe you need an initrd? Not sure.
3) the device might have a different name in this version of the kernel than
the one you did the build with.

As for the other reply about swap partitions, is it possible to use a file
or a partition for hibernate? You'll kill a flash device if you use it for
swap.
