Greetings,
I have the same question.  But I am running on the UMSDOS filesystem.
I did notice a line in an rc file showing 'swapon', but haven't had
time to figure it out. I did not setup a swap space, and was meaning to
on another DOS partition.  My disk also does almost no hashing.

The document at sunsite /pub/Linux/docs/howto/UMSDOS-HOWTO
says how to set up a UMSDOS swap, but I don't know if it's up-to-date.

Although I didn't help you, maybe someone will be able to answer both
our questions...

Using 'free' or 'top' check out how much space it says you have on
swap.  You want it to be > 0 ...

1. RH 5.2 hangs when formatting swap part.

I am trying to install Red Hat Linux 5.2 and setup locks up my PC when
it is initializing the swap partition.  The keyboard is locked and the
HD light stays on.  I can only shut-off the PC or hit the reset
button.  I have:

300 MHz Pent. II
Shuttle HOT-641 mainboard w/440BX chip set
Matrox Mystique w/4 MB RAM
64 MB SDRAM
Sound Blaster 32 PNP
3 GB Western Digital EIDE HD on Primary chan.
Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM as master on Sec. chan.
HP/Colorado 5 GB IDE tape drive as slave on sec. chan.
SMC PCI ethernet card (DEC 21041 chip set)
USR Sportster 56k modem on Com 2
Logitech WingMan Warrior digital joystick on Com1
Logitech PS2 mouse

This hard drive used to dual-boot OS/2 Warp 4 and NT 4 wkstn, but I
removed all of those partitions.   I started setup and created the
partitions in Disk Druid, but when I have it initialize the swap
partition, the PC locks up.  I have tried this three times, but I get
the same lockup each time.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them!
