| |
Tried to use 2.5.2. And got the message from swapon: swapon: /dev/hda6: Success
strace showed some strange return value from swapon(2), looking like a pointer.
The patch will cure the problem, though i'm not sure about the reasons setting the error to pointer. Are the kernel pointers handled specially in errors? -alex
