it would look like it's not loaded yes. if you run "swapon -s" do you see the right partitions listed there? if not try using "swapon /dev/hdaX" to load it. if that loads it up, then i'd assume there was an error in the /etc/fstab line whch should be mounting it. Also it could be that the partition is not formatted as swap, in which case use mkswap /dev/hdaX to create the swap in the first place. Obviously be VERY sure which partition you think is your swap before you start formatting it!

something like this...

Code:

/dev/hda5               none            swap            sw                0 0
