^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This would make it appear that you were decieved about the
presence or at least the initialization of swap space. (see below)
[brian@hell brian]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 513140 502848 10292 668 11032 54368
-/+ buffers/cache: 437448 75692
Swap: 394116 158568 235548
Yes. I do not have the "proper" amount of swap space, but that is due to a
memory upgrade post-install and too much lazyness to do anything about it. ;)
I really have a lot of those systems running on AMD K62's with VIA chipsets.
While there are known issues with VIA, most of those have been worked around
at this point and they are quite stable. (As I write this from an Athlon with
a VIA chipset in it.)
Get some swap and see if it fixes it.
