^^^^^^^^^^
Don't use a complete disk device for swapping. We have had very similar trouble
with fdasd and dasd access, especially on the first 1024 bytes of a dasd
device.
So use fdasd to create a partition, change the type to Linux Swap and then
use /dev/dasda1 instead. That should prevent access to the first 1024 bytes
of the dasd device for swapping and therefore should work as expected.
