All of this can be a lot of files on /tmp
Next to activate swapfile the system just delete files from /tmp
In my particular case that was the problem I just was testing the creation of a 
lot of directories (1 millon) in /tmp so my system just hang next to 
"Activating swapfile" and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del it continues to work but when I 
just see in /tmp I noticed that a lot of files still have there. And that 
revealed the problem when I just examine the initscripts. Next to activating 
the swapfile comes clean filesystems so just that is where the system "hang".
The solution for me just was: Wait a lot (some minutes) to let the system 
finish the cleaning of /tmp.

So if you install Linux above another filesystem like NTFS or worst: a
compressed one, that will "hang" for more time because a filesystem over
another filesystem is near two times slower and a compressed one is more
slower in some cases. So you must wait more time to finish the task of
cleaning /tmp.

Bye.
