The same problem does not occur when the swap partition is a primary partition on the same drive. Another problem that is probably related, was when I first formatted the drive using fdisk, and then did a reboot I got a kernel divide by zero message with cpu register dumps. I can't seem to replicate this error though. The software is Fedora Core 2 and the KDE desktop. Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I'm not sure what type of information you require to locate the bug.
