Unfortunately, I dont have ignite for this...

I've never seen this but, it looks like there is a crash dump on the swap device that filled it up. You need some swap space to boot and it sounds like there is none free.
Maybe you can boot from a maintenance CD. Maybe someone else can help with that. I've actually never done it.
