by Hello,
how could I setup a swap partition?? (fstab??,....)
JH
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!
