Looks not so bad so far.

Please do

# swapinfo -tam

# lvlnboot -v

# save_config -f /var/tmp/myconfig

post the results and contents of /var/tmp/myconfig

I took a quick look into the save_config script. It is trying to do the "fstyp", on error it is checking if this is SWAP. Obviously there is something wrong here with your system. It gets the error, but it cannot confirm LVOL2 as swap...

lvol2 is your primary swap -- it cannot have a filesystem on it. You must have a bad entry in fstab.

There is no need to list the primary swap area in fstab. If you want it listed, it should look like this:

     /dev/vg00/lvol2     __swap2__   swap defaults 0 0
