Hi kerneldevelopers,

I hope this is the right place to ask , since i think this could be
a bug.
I just tried to set up a complete linux which boots from cd , and
has its root mounted as 32Meg Ramdisk Ext2 Partition. I use initrd
to load the compressed 32Meg Image and some scripts to copy over the
Programs from cd. I use 2.1.102 and the egcs-compiler. The System
just works fine, but kswapd always takes a load from 80% at ps -auxw ,
and my uptime is always around 1.0 ... as i looked in /proc/meminfo
i saw that the values changed all the time . Is it possible, that
the kernel always swaps pages ? , or it needs a swap partition (which i dont think)..
btw. the system has 64Meg ram and /proc/meminfo reports ~20meg free memory
which changes a little every time - i dont know how to track this down

If you reply to me , please to this directly , i am not on the list

if you need more information , ask :) thanks

Chris
