Check /etc/fstab and see if it has the proper entry for a swap 
partition.  It may be that this is the problem.  If so, you can just copy 
the file out using the installer, edit it in the MacOS with something 
like BBEdit or emacs, and then copy it back in with the installer.

I hope this helps.

Later.
