I originally configured. my Mandrake 7.0 accidentally with NO SWAP device. It was misconfigured and somehow the system thought it was on hda6, which it is not. I have repartitioned one of my hard drives , hdc1, to be the swap file. The fstab entry is proper. The device has been partitioned and formatted under DOS. I have tried this with no formatting and formatting. I get an error message that the kernal doesn't support the filesystem swap. hdc1 is not mounted, and the OS goes to turn on swapping and fails. If I look at linuxconf under KDE.....it shows the device being set up for swap. I get no swapping at all, and my system just keeps grabbing real ram until it fills up. Oh yes, I have tried mkswap and get an error that 130048 is larger than device which has 0 size. Wondering if there were any tips on this one, that someone could give me. Thanks.
