I don't know why you're having a problem, but I'd suggest the following:
- boot into runlevel 1 if you can, or boot with Knoppix
- check to make sure you aren't using an encrypted swap partition,
and that it isn't hanging waiting for a password.
- check your swap partition for bad blocks
- reformat your swap partition
- if you still have problems, consider using a swap file on a
known-good partition instead of a swap partition
Good luck!
