swap error during startup

I get an irritating error during startup which I have to press startup which is probably not serious but I would like to sort it out (and also understand what went wrong.....) and also prevent some other error that could possibly happen later on. Luckily nothing has happened as yet.

The login screen comes up for a moment before it goes away. The error indicates that all items included in the etc/fstab file has not loaded:

swap: waiting for UUID=00c834f7-c693-4469-806c-3c681a56f082

To load the shell I have to press esc; which I do and so far I have not encountered any problems. Help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Btw, I have copied the fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
