Make sure you run "sync" between "mkswap /dev/hda6" and "swapon -a".

Also, you can force the use of /dev/hda6 as swap space without having to bother
with fstab and all that.  Of course, you should correct fstab so that the swap
area is automatically used on boot, but for a test you can simply use "swapon
/dev/hda6" instead of "swapon -a" here.  (The "-a" switch is just used to tell
swapon to read the fstab file.)
