The swap pager will wait hz*20 (20 seconds) for pages to be read back in from the swap space -- if it doesn't hear back in that time, it generates the above warning and then continue waiting. Typically, that kind of wait might occur because of a hardware problem. Did you see any related console output from the controller/device driver? Typically having swap space disappear out from under the system is not good for the health of the system...
