This would be easier for someone else to follow if you would not top post. Well since there is no swap enabled lets enable some. I have never done this without an fstab but the manpage for swapon seems to indicate that swapon /dev/whatever should work. so assumming that your swap partition is the same as root, try fdisk -l /dev/sda and see which partition is swap and use that in the above swapon command.
