Swap is a Solaris innovation, so swap partitions are in Solaris 'format'.
As to your booting latest kernel problem, your grub version is in
grub-legacy. As a *last resort*, and updating grub may even fail, you
can always manually modify your /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the latest
kernel. But please try this first temporarily at boot menu to make sure
it works.
