hda5 mounted - e2fsck: aborting

[Carl Karsten]

from #ubuntu-bugs

(6:49:08 PM) CarlFK: Kamion: ping! daily dapper: "use hda automatically" - on 
boot: "/dev/hda5 is mounted - e2fsck: can not continue - aborting"
(7:02:31 PM) CarlFK: Kamion: http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/temp/Apr03/d/

(2:44:37 AM) Kamion: CarlFK: well according to your partman log the installer 
/dev/hda5 is swap, so perhaps something is very confused, I don't know

(10:15:04 AM) CarlFK: http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/temp/Apr03/d/etc/fstab 
shows /dev/hda5       /media/hda5     ext3

fdisk shows hda5 type 82 (swap)

When it fails, I get: "Give ROOT password for maintenance"

I am trying to duplicate this on a 2nd box by setting up the partitions and 
existing FS's the same.  2 tries and no problem.  Any sugestions?
