Description of problem:
Entry for swap partition in /etc/fstab is garbage. And when computer boots, I
get I (something like). I have a 60GB HD at 7200RPM. I have 3.4GHz processor
with HT.

[root@localhost ~]# more /etc/fstab

Here are my partitoins:

[root@localhost ~]#

How reproducible:
I installed FC4 three times and same thing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.No idea if I have special hardware that's causing this or what.
  
Actual results:
[root@localhost ~]# more /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/devpts             /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/shm                /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/proc               /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/sys                /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=tyle );
                                sH   swap                    swap    defaults
     0 0
[root@localhost ~]#

Expected results:
Maybe:
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/devpts             /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/shm                /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/proc               /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/sys                /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda2               none                    swap    defaults        0 0
