The real problem is that I can't get it to boot into the new kernel.
Swap is only a secondary problem.

That's why I used the disclaimer "per customer request" - I would have much rather used RHEL.
I don't know why I would need to reformat the swap partition if nothing changed other than the drive label.
/dev/hde* became /dev/sda*
I need to know what configuration files to change. I made a modification to fstab (as shown in the original message) but that didn't seem to help.
---- customer request probably took into account that you have difficulty seeing the forest for the trees
If you can't make it work manually, why worry about modification to fstab?
Regardless of what /etc/fstab says at the moment
swapon command should work
if you can make swapon work, then you would know what to put into fstab
if swapon doesn't work, mkswap formats it in seconds
You could have checked out the suggestions that I made in less time than it took for you to write a reply.
