There is no swap entry here so it is obvious that it won’t get started. You have
to enter something like the following into your /etc/fstab:

> /dev/hdxN       none            swap    sw              0       0

Then swap will be activated on boot. (You can activate it for you current
session via „swapon /dev/hdxN“.)
