   - You forgot to edit out some kind of reference to the swap device. Check the post-copy steps again. One of the startup scripts probably tried to activate swap on a device that won't. Remember that you can use single user mode to fix these issues without doing a full re-install. References to swap could be in in the __/etc/fstab__ (usually on 4.x or older systems) and could also be inside of your __/etc/sysconfigtab__ which is usually the case on 5.x systems.   - You forgot to edit out some kind of reference to the swap device.
