Last modified: 2008-05-06 15:34:17 EDT
I'm not able to find the correct name for my platform: AMD64-PC Fedora 6, updated 10 min ago. And I can not find a component for booting. Description of problem: When booting I get this message in Norwegian language: Aktiverer swap-områder fra /etc/fstab: swapon: cannot open /etc/fstab: Ikke tilgang I then try to translate to English: Activating swap-area from /etc/fstab: swapon: cannot open /etc/fstab: No access I boot up and run GParted, right-click on: /dev/hda3/ Linux swap 2,96Gb, and shoose swapon. Then the swap is on. My line for swap in /etc/fstab: LABEL=SWAP-hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 The command 'll /etc/fstab': -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1225 mai 3 18:44 /etc/fstab I must add: I doubled my swap-file frog 1.5Gb to 3Gb after adding memory chip, it was 792Mb and now it is 1,5Gb. I think I should have the swap-file double size of the memory??? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The command as root: swapon -a, does not work either, only turning on the swap file by the program GParted.
