Subject: Swap issue
Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 04:29:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020206042922.GA89628@oenone.stormclouds.net> (raw)

Having just upgraded slackware8.0 (2.2 kernel)
to using 2.5.2, (2.5.3 patch install failed looking for malloc.h)
Im unable to use swap, despite it showing a success.

I've tried various kernel configurations, and it just doesn't
want to work.

(It was however working under 2.2.x)

Any ideas?

TIA,
