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.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap/swapfile bs=1024 count=131072

# swapon /swap/swapfile

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,
