Hi,
I had the same problem with the swap partition when I installed Arch.

Ironically, the auto-prepare hard drive option is the original option I chose, which led to the message of swap not activated. When I customized its partions the swap file did indeed activate, at least it said it did!

For me I did not find any solution yet... Will do like you then.
However I had customized the partitions. First I though that maybe the failure to activate the swap was related to the fact that this swap has been made previously for Yoper and I want to share it between both distros.... But can't see why it should be so.
Maybe I should now rely on 'auto-prepare' instead to get the swap activated ;=)
When I run mkswap followed by swapon, the latter command replies that the partition is BUSY !?
Thanks for the posts, I find this forum and similar ones very helpful.

I agree with you, apart from this swap pb I'm very fond of Arch, especially for packages management and updates.
Thanks
