run this at a bash prompt (assuming your HDD is /dev/hda) :
fdisk -l /dev/hda | grep swap | cut -f 1 -d " "
you should get something like:
/dev/hdaXX
if you get nothing, your swap partition is probably missing.
To set up a swap partition you need to do:
# mkswap -f /dev/hdaXX
To activate the swap area, run this:
# swapon /dev/hdaXX
also make sure you have an entry in /etc/fstab for the swap partition:
# cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
/dev/hdaXX none swap sw 0 0
you can also make a swap file on any partition that has extra space.
To make a 256 MB swapfile
# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1k count=256k
# mkswap -f swapfile
# swapon swapfile
