Problem solved! In my particular case the SATA driver was not loaded at the time when the SATA partition/swap space was mounted. I finally managed to find the solution by serching on mount problems with SATA drives instead of concetrating on problems with swap space activation (see the excellent page at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30233 )
The soulution for me was to add the following line in /etc/modules which loads the apropriate (nvidia) SATA driver: sata_nv I do think that there is a bug in debian - since earlier the sata driver was loaded later during harware detection (but this was done after mounting partitions). I beleive that changeing the initation order should remedy this problem. Should this be reported as a bug?
