Moloko, I didn't see this one getting answered, so here's what I did:
On the VM side of things, I followed the example at http://www.linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/vdiskswp.html For the Linux side of things I did the following: Insert a line in /etc/rc.sysinit directly after the comment "#Start up swapping." similar to "mkswap /dev/dasdc1" Insert a line in /etc/fstab similar to: /dev/dasdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0 That's all I did.
