Hi -- I evidently have a similar problem. When I boot Linux (and it does work, but not well), the "swapon" command in the startup script gives the error message "/dev/sda6 Device Not Configured". /dev/sda6 is the swap partition. When I try to "mkswap", I get the message "Device Not Configured." What does this actually mean? When I installed Linux, I indicated that sda6 was to be the swap partition, and it is shown as such in the fstab. Any ideas? thanks, pete On Sun, 30 Jul 2000 01:25:12 +0200, Alexander Skwar wrote: >On Thu, Jul 27, 2000 at 11:44:47AM -0500, jeremy rogers wrote: >> any ideas anyone? > >mkswap /dev/swap-device and replace swap-device with the partition where you >want to create the swap on. or are you really talking about a swapFILE? >then it's mkswap /path-to-swapfile. > >-- >Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com >Sichere Mail?
