[bf1942] Swap Partition Problem

[Jeff Ives]

cat your fstab you show see swap as a /dev/****  or top and see if it listed
at the top, if not it's probity not active.

now fdisk or cfdisk is there a partition you made for swap listed?

if so then do
mkswap /dev/****
where **** is the partition you want as swap

then swapon

sorry if this has already been tried I just joined the list so I'm coming in
at the middle.

Anyone just thought about a forum for some of this stuff?
