Do you have a swap size 2 times your ram? This is a general recommendation, but I believe its a requirement at the moment with 2.4 kernels. On the other hand, my swap is half my ram and everything works OK, but I'm hardly using any swap. Check the linux-kernel archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&r=1&w=2 Theres lots of talk about how swap has changed in 2.4. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
