You have a swap partition?  If so, make sure the appropriate entry is
in /etc/fstab.  Here's mine from an LVM-based system:

    /dev/sys_vg/swap_lv     swap        swap    defaults        0 0

And one from a non-LVM system:

    LABEL=SWAP             swap         swap    defaults        0 0

The /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script that's run at startup should find it
and turn on swap automatically.  rc.sysinit also uses "blkid" to try
to find swap partitions ("blkid -t TYPE=swap...") and activate them.
