Yes, i was ready with a solution, i fired up the old 486/DX/2 66 with the
mcd cdrom, i managed to get redhat to see all the addresses the card has.

That is possably because you have defuined the swap space but said no to
formatting it.
I dont know the deatails because you dont elaborate, however do you mean
the "whole" system freezes,??? normaly speaking you can hit ALT-F2 or 3 and
still be able to use a console and enter commands, one handy command is
fdisk, you can crate a swap partition that way, i have never done it that
way, but i think it should be possable, even in Redhat.
