hibernate - Swap partition does not mount on restart

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and was trying to enable Hibernate.I came across that one should have Swap Partition equivalent to RAM in system so created one.
My file system information on



sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda





Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sda7 310427648 312575999 1074176 82 Linux swap / Solaris


I am able to hibernate my system once I swapon my /dev/sda7 partition.



For that I do,

mkswap /dev/sda7
and swapon /dev/sda7



I even added entry in /etc/fstab



UUID="xxx" /dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0



Everything happens successfully including sudo pm-hibernate
But when I restart my system after Hibernate its not able to load my swap partition.



I checked using Gparted Partition Editor then for /dev/sda7 the file system becomes unknown.

Please help in resolving this.
