So-what went wrong and where is line 157??
|
According to what you posted, it failed when it was unpacking the tarball. It might be a bad download, or it could be that the authors screwed things up. I'd try unpacking it by hand and if that fails, download a new copy.

I have been installing multiple distro's and moving partitions around. I think this is why some of the distro's are confused as to where/how to mount the swap partition.

Odds are, no. If you specify the swap right, no distro is really going to know about any other distro you have installed. I think the only issue might come from not cleanly shutting down, in which case the swap might get crap left behind.

My swap is inside an extended partition, next to my FAT32 file storage partition-could this be a problem??
|
As long as the distro can see the swap, its physical location should be immaterial.

I have to tell it "swapon" for it to come on-otherwise it's never mounted!

That should have been set up during install. Have a look at /etc/fstab and see if swap is set up right there. It should look something like this:
Code:
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
Obviously, you'll have a different partition as your swap.
