This is normal. Basically, it says that it is about to check the swap
file to see if the previous shutdown was via suspend, and hence the boot
up might need to resume the previous session.

Check for the swap entry in /etc/fstab. Usually it gets created with and
mounted by label eg:
LABEL=swap swap swap swap 0 0
But if you are sharing the swap partition with another OS, it might be
trashing the label ? In that case you could change the fstab to mount by
/dev/sdXy
You can also try comment the line out of swap with #; you might have
enough ram to ~not care ;)
