Effectively, swap is not in fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda8 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=fac20d2a-a9b7-4a63-973e-ff78f9bf0bc2 / ext3
errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
UUID=bdc14217-c199-40fc-ae6b-47657e54cee3 none swap sw
0 0
# /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

#/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
image.iso /mnt/iso iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop0,user,noauto 0 0
Maybe the main cause of the problem is the swap partition not mounted?
