SubjectRe: page allocation failed in 2.4.24

hi marcelo,

oh yes, when i rebooted the host yesterday, i saw a glimpse of

  swap device /dev/XXX has no swap signature (or similar)

in the kernel-message.

i did a 

  mkswap /dev/XXX; swapon /dev/XXX

and now the system works fine (for now...)

thanks for your reply,
mike
