swapon: device or resource busy



I recently changed my partition table, and ended up recreating a swap partition.  Ever since then, I keep getting the error "swapon: device or resource busy".
 
This is after running mkswap -c /dev/hda3 (where the current swap partition is) and updating fstab:
 
/dev/hda3    none    swap    sw    0    0
 
I even created a new swap partition on /dev/hda7, added it to fstab, and also ran mkswap -c on it. Same thing.
 
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this error?
 
Thanks!
 
Jen
