[expert] poor swap activation with kernel 2.4.18-8.2

[Terry Tremaine]

Hello   I enclose a copy of my previous question to the group. I upgraded to kernel 2.4.18-8.2 from 2.4.8-34.1. I am running mdk 8.1 and upgrade everything as updates come out. With the new kernel swap just does not get used. I cannot run the gui because memory requirements will use up my physical memory. I must reboot every few hours even as things are. I cannot go back to the old kernel without incurring some difficulty because I upgraded iptables at the same time.   TT  ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Tremaine To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 7:39 PM Subject: [expert] poor swap activation with kernel 2.4.18-8.2 Hello   I upgraded to kernel 2.4.18-8.2 recently and discovered that it does not manage swap properly. All kernel messages seem correct on boot up but it just doesn't work. Does anyone know a workaround for this or perhaps there is a script that gets malconfigured on rpm installation of the kernel.   TT
