I have not given a label to mkswap at any time.  Mine seems to survive 
reboot, now.  Just can't hibernate as swap partition is smaller than memory.
Make sure there is a link named as the uuid given by mkswap in 
/dev/disk/by-uuid.
  example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-03-04 15:11 
79cb19f1-71c2-46e6-bcc7-cd2f95cfd1ab -> ../../hdc6
This link name must be in the fstab as:
  UUID=79cb19f1-71c2-46e6-bcc7-cd2f95cfd1ab none swap sw 0 0
Check it and let us know.
