Resolve that first. Is it running? Did you give it a name? (umid=XXXX)

(it doesn't look like it does) Swap file should be next to root_fs in your host fs, whereas you seem to have created it inside the guest fs. You can also create swap files as normal files (swapon /path/to/file), but using raw files is better. Antoine > My problem is that in both cases /proc/meminfo in the UML does not > show swap memory.
