Yeah, that's not good.  You're going to want a newer kernel.  Grab
2.0.36, compile it (making sure to preserve the kernel you have, which 
is ALWAYS a good idea!), and verify that /proc/swaps exists.  Then try

mkswap /dev/hda6
swapon /dev/hda6

If that doesn't work, grab a newer mount package.  It might be in the
mount RPM, or it might be packaged separately; I don't know, because I
run Debian.  Let me know what happens.
