I've got a system (Lenny, kernel 2.6.26-2-486)that occasionally fails to boot
fully. The last item noted on the console is 'Activating Swap', then nothing.

Hello Steef,
Last weekend, i had the same problem on an Fujitsu-Siemens Notebook.
But i have no external drive connected to the Notebook.

issue was observed.
One question:

I don't know why you're having a problem, but I'd suggest the following:
- boot into runlevel 1
Does it hang on it and stops booting?

Greetings,
Sometime during boot, i get the message Activating swap... failed.
('failed' is in red)
The only place in /var/log (that i thought would make sense to search
in) i can find a reference to swap is:
$ cat /var/log/kern.log.0 |grep swap

Turns out it was Bastille leftovers (most likely). A few programs in
/sbin had 000 permissions, including swap* and hwclock (hence my time
issues)... Swap mounts now.
There was supposed to be an undo file in /var/log/Bastille/backup but
i couldn't find none, and purging said package didn't revert

How do I activate that swap?
You need to setup the swap space first. try 'mkswap /dev/hda5'. It's the same
as (only different) making a filesystem before mounting in.
This will destroy all data on the drive.

Evening all.
I am trying to setup a secondary swap partition on a different IDE
controller in my system. I partitioned the drive, inserted
/dev/hdc5 noneswap sw pri=0 0 0
into the fstab ( I may be putting the pri=0 option in the wrong place, but
it works with the first swap partition)
Looks like you are trying to enable the primary partition
as swap. Not sure if that could be a problem. Try to
use one of the logical partitions (/dev/hda5 above) as
swap.
Also, I was told that its not possible to install Windows
in logical partition. let me know if you are able to
install

At this point I've repartitioned the dev/hda (harddisk) with cfdisk.
