You'll also find, I feel sure, similar problems if you boot from disk
and try to swap on the network.  The code contains comments indicating
that whoever wrote it wanted it working soon and therefore cheated,
overloading mounting root and mounting swap, so that you have to swap
to at least the same _type_ of device that you have root on.

Or do you mean when using swapon after boot?  If so, "swap generic"
will never work; "swap generic" allows you to swap to anywhere, but to
only one anywhere - you can never add more swap after boot.  This is
the basic problem that prompted the recent small discussion about
dynamic (or semi-dynamic - hot-add but reboot-to-remove) swap.
