Like the man said. You can't fsck swap space. There is no file system
there. Anyway, IIRC your problem has nothing to do with swap space.

It's not your swap partition. Your system could live just fine without
it, as long as you didn't try to run too much stuff at once. Deleting
the swap partition and recreating it will not buy you anything.
IIRC when your system comes up, fsck goes nuts over the root partition.
Running fsck on the same partition from Knoppix shows it to be clean.
It that a correct summary?
One more thing. Do not run fsck on a live filesystem (one mounted
writeable).
