dev 08:02 is /dev/sda2, your swap device.

You see what happened:
You added /dev/sda2, a device that has 40162 blocks,
and told the kernel that it was good for 52412k swap space.
I seem to recall that I once fixed this, in the sense that
the kernel noticed a mismatch between the size of the swap device
and what the swap header says - but maybe that was only for 2.4
or perhaps it never got in - will check.
In the meantime it seems that your problems will be fixed
if you redo mkswap.
