I installed Debian on a 486 with 4mb, but when I get to
the Setup Menu and select "Initialize Swap partition"
it does it's thing then says "Device or Resource Busy".
I have tried IRC with no luck.
The partition is 28mb on a 122 drive. It was partition
as Primary, and set to Swap. Everything else installed ok,
but without the Swap I can't actually do anything.
Tried mkswap with swapon and recieved the same error...

*** Q ***
1. Failed to initialize core devices?????? Help
I run RH Linux 4.0 with kernel 2.0.33. I just upgraded to 2.0.33 from the factory installed 2.0.30 that came with the package. After the upgrade, I start Xwindows and get nothing but a blank screen. I have no choice but to reboot after that.
After the kernel upgrade, I don't have any mouse support for some reason. During boot, I get a message when the kernel runs the gpm daemon saying that /dev/mouse is not found, but everything else still runs. When I do a startx, I get a blank screen. I checked the /var/log/Xerrors and it shows that /dev/mouse wasn't found, and then below that, an error message is found that says "failed to initialize core devices." Could it be that I get a blank screen solely because there is no mouse support, or is the
re a larger problem at hand? I have run configX to see if the config is right--its still the same after the kernel upgrade. What's the deal?
