Canot mount swap partition

[Ozzi]

Whenever I start my system I get an error that says "Cannot acess resume device (swap-hda4)", then it loads just fine, but it doesn't mount the swap partition. The error occured recently after I had to reset my computer beacuse it became unresponsive. I've deleted the swap partition and recreated it, but still no result. After the system boots I can mount the partition using gparted, but why doesn't it mount it at startup? My distro is FC6. Thanks.

post the contents of /etc/fstab and output of 'fdisk -l' command.

Content of /etc/fstab:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /media/data ext3 defaults 0 0

As for /sbin/fdisk -l, that didn't output anything. I tried "$ /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda" and it returned "Cannot open /dev/hda". I have an ide hard disk (westren digital 80GB).

execute this

su -
fdisk -l

i think Label of SWAP partition has been changed. check the outassign 'SWAP-hda4' label to SWAP partition using GParted.

The Swap partition has no label (at least that's what gparted said). I changed the label in fstab to SWAP but I get the same error.

By te way, fdisk returned:

if there isn't any Label assigned to SWAP partition, remove Label tag in /etc/fstab file too.

/dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0

OR assign Label "SWAP-hda4" using GParted and keep SWAP entry in /etc/fstab file as it is.

LABEL=SWAP-hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0

Couldn't find out how to relabel the partition with gparted, so I modified /etc/fstab as you said. Now I get the same error at startup, but the swap partition gets mounted automaticaly, so i guess the problem is solved. Very peculiar. Thanks a lot
