SWAP gone when running mainline
Hi, I run a recent re-kernel (using lubuntu 12.04) and when I boot into it, free says I don't _have_ (and use) any SWAP. Of course on ubuntu's kernel it works. When could I start looking around? .config? sysfs knob? I have no idea. thanks -- Martin Kepplinger ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Re: SWAP gone when running mainline
Let me get this right: you have 2 distros? On one (ubuntu) you have swap and on other (lubuntu) not? Looks like missing fstab entry too me Greg. 27 sty 2013 13:24, Martin Kepplinger mart...@posteo.de napisał(a): Hi, I run a recent re-kernel (using lubuntu 12.04) and when I boot into it, free says I don't _have_ (and use) any SWAP.

Re: SWAP gone when running mainline
Sorry, that wasn't clear. Nope, I just have one distro: Lubuntu. I installed a rc-mainline-kernel and when I boot into it, there is no swap. On the distro-kernel there of course is. thanks On 2013-01-27 13:30, Grzegorz Dwornicki wrote: Let me get this right: you have 2 distros? On one (ubuntu) you have swap and on other (lubuntu) not?

GRUB question

Yes, it's a rootfs with minimal stuff needed for booting a workable system. why does this matter. doing 'file /boot/initrd.img' on my system shows its a gzip compressed file. Can I put initrd.img in a floppy to boot system ? I think you can. Provided you have the floppy driver compiled into your kernel.
