Hi, Group:

I followed the advice of several list members (thanks) but the result 
was disappointing.  A synopsis of what I've done appears below?

===================================================
/dev/hda2       /data1  auto    noauto,user 0 0 
/dev/hda5       /data2  auto    noauto,user 0 0 
/dev/hdb2       /data3  auto    noauto,user 0 0 
devpts  /dev/pts        devpts  defaults 0 0 
/dev/fd0        /floppy auto    noauto,user 0 0 
proc    /proc   proc    defaults 0 0 
/dev/hda1       /windows/C      vfat    noauto,user 0 0 
/dev/hdb5       swap    swap    defaults 0 0

root@linux:/home/gaw > swapon -a swapon: /dev/hdb5: Invalid argument 

root@linux:/home/gaw > swapon usage:

swapon [-v] [-p priority] special ...        
swapon [-s]        
====================================================

In /var/log/boot.msg, there's a line that says 'failure to find swap 
space signature.'  Would it help to go to Partition Magic 6.0 and 
re-format the swap space as file system ID 82?

Any ideas, anyone?
