I don't think so, my swap partition:
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda2 27 27 59 66528 82 Linux swap

More than 16MB, the 16MB limit is an very old limit, I don't remember
since what version is no limit, but I think that is previous to the 2.0.0
kernel.


- From the mkswap man page:

As each block is 1kB large, the swap area in this example
could have a size that is anywhere in the range from 40kB
up to 127.6875MB.

The man page is from Linus Torvalds, Linux 1.0 and tje date 8 February
1995.

Then This is not a problem. With respect at the rests of problems, I'm
sorry but don't know the solution.

Cheers, Juan Quintela.
