Is there any reason for making the swap space on a primary partition as opposed to an extended partition? I've got two swaps for a total of 254M, both on extended partitions on my only HD in the machine. 128M of that goes exclusively to DB2 beta, of course, and everything seems to working cheerfully. Unless, of course, we've somehow managed to get rid of the 128M limit on swap partition size with the 2.2.x kernels?
