Just one hint, maybe this works: dump your swap partition witz zeros, i.e. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda6 Keep an eye on the logs (Any IO-errors here regarding /dev/hda6?) re-create your swap partition with mkswap Of course, you should turn off swapping before starting this ;-) Greetings, Alex -- Alexander Puchmayr Systemadministrator for Theoretical Physics University Linz, Austria e-mail: alexander.puchmayr@jku.at Altenbergerstrasse 69 phone: +43/732/2468-8633 A-4040 Linz-Auhof FAX: +43/732/2468-8585 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
