Are you sure u=mountable flag? Isn't it rather u=UNmountable flag? 
I have this:

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             0       757   6080571   83  Linux native
/dev/hda2  u        757       782    200812+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3             0       782   6281415    5  Whole disk

and it works
