Did you set the swap partition to a Linux swap partition?
Did you format the swap partition with mkswap?
Did you add the swap partition with swapon?

Hope this helps.

Hello all (again)
I think I have another problem. When I used FIPS to re-size my 340MB HD
I shrunk my MSDOS partition by 50MB. From this 50, 42 went to Linux, and
8 were fdisked as a Linux swap partition. But when I run that memory
command (what is it now?) it shows total memory=12MB, the amount of RAM
in my machine and not 20MB like I expected. So how do I get Linux to
recognize the swap partition?

TIA!
