Your swap permissions are incorrect. Swap partitions normally
have a permission of 600, (at best 660, not more). Swap is
turned on and off by the boot/ shutdown sequence by root.
a) Boot from a rescue floppy (not boot floppy). If you do not
have a boot floppy tomsrtbt, or alfalinux will do.
b) Do NOT mount the swap partition of the HDD.
c) As root do:
chmod 600 /dev/hdxN (where x is a, b etc & N is 1,2 etc)
d) In your /etc/fstab the entry should have nothing beyond:
/dev/hdxN swap swap defaults 1 2
e) Log out of the emergency boot disk session.
f) Boot into the system through your hard disk as normal, and
this should work, (do not give an access more than 660).
