Is your fstab example a real life one, or fictional? in the 1st case, how did you manage to have the swap labeled?? I don't know how can one label a swap partition, if at all. mkswap/swapon/swapoff don't seem to be providing such an option. I know I can remove the swap partition and create another one with one big file on it to hold the swap, but I suspect from the architectural reasons this will be worse than using a dedicated partition. I have suffered my share of problems with trying to keep 2.4 and 2.6 going together smoothly on the same machine (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286515 ) and came up with nothing better than going single and moving the appropriate fstab (sda flavoured for 2.6 and hda for 2.4) in place. BTW, I have never figured how to force the cdrw not to work in the ide-scsi emulation mode in 2.6; even with the ide-cd driver preloaded by /etc/modules and an option options ide-scsi ignore=hdd added to the modules.conf (via update-modutils), the scsi emulation still grabs hdd (somehow pulled in by the sata_sil?)
