i am prompted with the following failure:

You may have to refer to it by the /dev/mapper entry. Are you doing this on the CL or in Yast?
Also, just an aside, but why are you not putting / in the LVM? You can carve out a 90MB /boot and keep the rest maintained by LVM, including swap, or, with recent improvements in speed, put swap on a mounted filesystem as a file, as it will continue to do block I/O to the file.

all-swaps

all-swaps(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					      all-swaps(7)

NAME

       all-swaps - event signalling that all swap partitions have been activated

SYNOPSIS

       all-swaps [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  all-swaps  event  is  generated  by the mountall(8) daemon after it has activated all swap partitions listed in fstab(5).  mountall(8)
       emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other  activ-
       ity.

       When this event occurs, common filesystems such as /usr may not be mounted.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once swap partitions are activated might use:

	      start on all-swaps

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) filesystem(7)
