I have encounter the same problem. It is because the kernel is not configured
to have drive 2 as swap, your kernel probably configured with swap on drive 1
only. Please check your config file for the kernel, then grep for the line
config. Edit the file to have swap turn on wd1, rebuild your kernel and reboot
the machine. The instruction of how to configure the kernel and rebuild the
kernel can be found in the faq.
