Please attach (do not paste) verbatim copies of the /etc/fstab that

Title:
  swap not mounted with mountall unless listed last in /etc/fstab

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A swap partition is not mounted on boot, and is not mounted with
  mountall, despite being listed in /etc/fstab, unless the line
  describing the swap partition is the last line in /etc/fstab. This can
  be seen by executing 'mountall -v' with the line describing the swap
  partition at any other point in /etc/fstab: the last line of output
  will appear similar to 'local 4/4 remote 0/0 virtual 12/12 swap 0/0'.

  There is a description of the bug, and the workaround:
