/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0

Try this in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

and, as root: swapoff -a; mkswap /dev/sda2; swapon /dev/sda2

Be sure /dev/sda2 is your swap partition before doing the above!

The swap priority option only matters when you running multiple
spindles with parallel swaps, in that case, set to same priority,
example from a dual SATA box:

/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sdb5 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
