while installing, can't get swapon to work for sun4u
On my Sun4u (Ultra5) I've been unable to get 'swapon' to work. I've tried the following: * leaving it as a solaris swap type * making it a linux swap type * playing around with the mountable flag * playing around with the readonly flag (this had been a SunOS swap partition, and it came with the readonly flag set -- 'u' in fdisk) The partition is 154035k, bigger than linux can use. Still, it should work (mkswap makes it smaller). mkswap works fine, but swapon just says 'invalid argument'. This even happens if I make another, say, 90M swap partition from scratch, set to linux swap type, no flags, mkswap it, then run swapon -- again, invalid argument. Any clues? -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onShore.com/
