A while back I wrote about a problem I was having - Linux would crash if I logged in as a regular user then tried to log in as root on another virtual terminal whether the regular user had logged out or not was irrelevant(spelling?). Anyway, the kernel would Oops with "unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual memory address xxxxxx." Well I took a guess that my swap was screwed and swapped off and mkswaped the swap and swap on again. This solved the problem. I guess when I would load X and some programs with the regular user it would have to use the swap. And since the swap was corrupted it would crash when root would try to log in. Why it wouldn't crash when another regular user would try to log in I don't know - but who cares 'cause it works now :)
