are you running under vmware?  i am hitting this with vmware
workstation.

i'm getting this too.  i'm running the latest debian kernel and it just
started happening.

i'm using a swap partition and have recreated it a few times / run
mkswap.

strace swapon -a shows that the syscall swapon('/dev/sdc1', 0) is
failing.

man 2 swapon says:

EINVAL
The file path exists, but refers neither to a regular file nor to a block 
device; or, for swapon(), the indicated path does not contain a valid swap 
signature or resides on an in-memory file system like tmpfs; or, for swapoff(), 
path is not currently a swap area.

UBUNTU GUYS -- PLEASE HELP!
