SubjectRe: Something broken in sys_swapon
Aha!  I then tried this patch:

}

oldsize = blksize_size[MAJOR(dev)][MINOR(dev)];
+
+ printk("Changing device %02x:%02x block size from %u to %u\n",
+ MAJOR(dev),MINOR(dev),
+ oldsize,size);
+ if (MAJOR(dev) == 0x03 && MINOR(dev) == 0x42){
+ printk("...Refused.\n");
+ return 0;
+ }
+
if (oldsize == size)
return 0;

...And now my system boots fine with /dev/hdb2 swap in the fstab.
In fact, I tried /dev/hdb1 after and then I couldn't read any more from
/boot (which is /dev/hda1). So, some sort of wraparound is happening
here. Why would blksize_size[3][2] be affected by blksize_size[3][0x42]?
