        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.
