Subject: Unable to find swap space signature

Right, so I'm working on setting up the swap space on my new system:
have a total of three hard drives in there now, although one's coming
out.
anyhow, partitioning is as follows: (partitioned used cfdisk, btw)
hda1 = /boot
hda2 = swap
hda3 = linux, to be used for raid
hde1 = swap
hde2 = linux, also for raid.
/etc/fstab has the following two lines, taken fromt the linux
software-raid howto:
/dev/hda2 sw swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
/dev/hde1 sw swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
Anyhow, I get the following message when I run swapon -a (which should
initialize all swap partitions listed in /etc/fstab, according to man)
Unable to find swap-space signature
swapon: /dev/hda2: Invalid argument
Unable to find swap-space signature
swapon: /dev/hde1: Invalid argument.
cfdisk reports these as type 82: linux swap partitions...
any idea what's going on here?
