I assume you tried:
----------------
mkswap /dev/hda8
----------------

> ls /dev | grep hda

Do the following and check that your new hda8
exactly matches the others in all the columns:
---------------
ls -l /dev/hda*
---------------

Do the following and check that /dev/hda8 is
listed as a Linux swap (82) partition:
--------
fdisk -l
--------
