Problem description:
  We do a fresh installation FC5("fedora-development tree (aka rawhide),
snapshot May1") on machine plinuxt15. We can see a failed messages when it is
booting up:
Enabling swap space:  swapon: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01: Invalid argument
                                                                        [FAILED]

Hardware Environment
    Machine type (p650, x235, SF2, etc.): p650
    Cpu type (Power4, Power5, IA-64, etc.): Power4
    

Is this reproducible?
    If so, how long does it (did it) take to reproduce it?yes
    Describe the steps:
    1. Do fresh installation of FC5
    2. Select disk sda as installation target and accept default disk layout
    3. Finished the installation
    4. reboot it and view the boot messages



Additional information:
    1. After OS boot up, issue "top" and we can see the size of swap is zero:
Mem:   8079772k total,   127908k used,  7951864k free,     9060k buffers
Swap:        0k total,        0k used,        0k free,    46452k cached

I met similar problem on paytonlp1 which has / on swraid1
