From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040921 Description of problem: The default istallation of Fedora Core 2 (kernel-2.6.5-1.358) came with 2Gb of swap. When I rebooted with the altest version of the kernel (kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2) updated using up2date, it marked at boot that it couldn't load the swap partition, and when I run top it prints: Swap: 0k total Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot with the kernel version 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 Actual Results: No Swap! Expected Results: top shows: Swap: 2040244k total Additional info:
what are the results of.. swapon -s fdisk -l grep swap /etc/fstab
swapon -s gives nothing, but fdisk -l gives me the following output: Disk /dev/sda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 19675 157935015 83 Linux /dev/sda3 19676 19929 2040255 82 Linux swap while grep swap /etc/fstab gives me the following output /dev/hde3 swap swap defaults 0 0 I have a SATA disk and the installation of Fedora Core 2 recognized it as /dev/hde, and it seems that it is the point
indeed, that hde should be an sda3. seems due to the fact that libata appeared post 2.6.5 and changed the device node that you use. Ouch. Short of fixing it up by hand, there's not a lot else we can do.
