Re: trouble with fdisk and activate the swap
I always set up my swap partition as a primary partition and I don't
have that problem. I can never read the blocks right, but it looks like
the swap partition is more than 128MB. You can set up multiple swap
partitions but they can not be more than 128MB.

Wrong. You created Swap as a primary partition, but it has to be
logical.
(/dev/hda4 it will be)

This is ok. You have to reboot to update the partition table, but dont
change the fstab file yet (you can, though)
Once you boot it up, do mkswap /dev/hda4
Then swapon
