now it works.
THANKS A LOT.

i try to figure out, what i have done wrong yesterday.
first i did determine the UUID of the swap-device and did a mkswap on the symbolic link /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> (i do not know, why i did so) and maybe that will not work?!

again: thanks you very much for your step-by-step - instructions!
