I'm sure you've gotten many suggestions already, but here's another one.
Found this out by accident last night. Try using swapon on a non swap
filesystem. Ie. if /dev/hda1 is a ext2 partition, try 'swapon /dev/hda1'.
Just for disclaimer, I don't mean activating a swap file on an ext2
filesystem which is perfectly valid. I'm using kernel 2.1.17 and got a
pretty quick panic.
