It means that a disk change was detected. 16 and 40 are hex numbers,
which correspond to 22 and 64 decimal. Then, from
Documentation/devices.txt in the kernel sources:
22 [[... SNIP ...]]
block Second IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
0 = /dev/hdc Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
64 = /dev/hdd Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
So, 16:40 corresponds to /dev/hdd. You probably changed CDs in the
CD-ROM attached as slave to the second IDE interface.

That'd be my guess, but i could easily be wrong... Anyone know for sure?

Nope, swap space isn't in the file system... And if your swap space is
on a media that has a disk change, something's probably not right...
