My "swap" space seems to have vanished....

Hi All,

Just gone wild & updated my system to a 64 bit monster, installed F14 
without problem....

BUT....

When I look at SystemManager, it lists that there is no swap space & no 
swap space available...

I remember setting Swap in an extended partition, then df tells me:

  df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             28833848   5518600  23022388  20% /
tmpfs                  1899484      1068   1898416   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1               474440     50462    399481  12% /boot
/dev/sda3            288370940  26611056 247111416  10% /home

Fdisk gives me:

sudo fdisk -l

Which seems to me to suggest that the swap partition exists.

Anyone got any thoughts on how to get the swap recognised??

As ever, great thanks to you all for your help and support!
