It's possible that your hard drive's /dev/ entry
changed due to something like moving the hard disk
from being a primary master to some other position. 
To find out for sure, run the following command:
dmesg | grep ^hd
and see what it gives you.  After that, that what it
returns (ex. hda, hdb, hdc, hdd, or whatever it
returns) and run:
fdisk -l /dev/hdX (where X is the letter that dmesg
returned).  What I'm guessing is that your hard drive
was a primary master and has now become something
else.  If X is not a, then you have to modify
/etc/fstab and give it the new position of your swap partition.
