Hi, Mike:
I followed the advice of David and one or two others in our midst, and
ran
mkswap /dev/hdb5
to format the existing partition, and following that, ran
swapon -a
to enable it.
I had already allocated the swap partition, prior to the SuSE 7.1
installation. I had already set it up and formatted it, by running
Partition Magic 6.0 from a (Caldera DR DOS) boot floppy disk.
However, for whatever reason, the swap space signature was invalid or
invisible to SuSE, so YaST2 failed to enable it as swap space.
I hope this is what you wanted.
Best regards,
Glenn
