I've never seen swap utilization > 0 and suspect that something might be seriously wrong. Here's an example of the kernel error: do_page_fault() pid=8730 command='Xvfb' type=6 address=0x00000003 YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI PSW: 00000000000001001111111100001111 r0-3 00000000 0049a1f8 00000000 00000013 r4-7 723cff78 00000000 00000000 00000000 r8-11 00000500 00000400 00000000 00000020 r12-15 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000400 r16-19 00000500 0058fd70 00000000 000057e4 r20-23 00000000 00000014 00000040 004c61f8 r24-27 faf00d58 faf00cd8 0000000e 004471f8 r28-31 0002bf20 00000000 faf00e48 00054f83 sr0-3 00000000 00000100 00000000 00000100 sr4-7 00000100 00000100 00000100 00000100 IASQ: 00000100 00000100 IAOQ: 00000003 00000007 IIR: e85e02a1 ISR: 00000100 IOR: 005dc000 ORIG_R28: 00000003 My system is a 712/60 with 128MB RAM. Does anyone have a good example of test to force the system to use swap? -chuck
