 I agree with your observation: I see the "Activating SWAP " line with the
usual "[ Ok ]" at bottom, so the I'm sure the swap is already activated.

Your best bet in troubleshooting boot time problems is to eliminate "rhgb"

Thank for the suggestion for investigate the problem. As I've already
stated, I observe this randomly and not so frequently.
