Try running swapon -s and see if the device is listed. Also,
cat /proc/mdstat. Your swap device should show up in the swapon -s
command. It should show up in mdstat but may be listed as
(auto-read-only).
I had a similar issue on one of my hosts and ended up having to change
the
boot flags. I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and changed the item
resume=/dev/md1 to noresume. This disables the ability to hibernate the
machine, but allowed my swap to work properly.
Hope this helps.
