    ^^^^^^


As you've already discovered (based on other mail in this thread), this
should be

RESUME=UUID=a743df91-ac0a-419b-95e7-5c266447e543

AFAIK, the whole point of using UUIDs is to find partitions no matter
what disk they are on, be that /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/nvme0n1 or what
have you.

Hope this helps,
