Description Henning Kvello-Aune 2007-05-03 16:38:51 UTC
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):

The command as root: swapon -a, does not work either, only turning on the swap
file by the program GParted.
