The entry looks fine to me. The entry my Debian unstable system looks
like this:
/dev/hda8 none swap sw 0 0
If you issue the command in a terminal window:
cat /proc/swaps
: what does it tell you?
If it is not mounted I would use fdisk or cfdisk to check that the
partition type actually was set to linux swap, and change it if it
isn't. And then format it with the mkswap command.
