No, there's only one swap partition.

I just did a test based on a previous comment about new kernels defaulting to
old swap partitions.  I removed a kernel (in this case kernel-tmb-desktop-3.0.6)
and then reinstalled it and it put the old swap uuid in.  I then went and
removed all references to that old swap in the menu.lst file, uninstalled and
reinstalled the kernel and it picked up the new swap uuid.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
