I compiled and installed the 2.6.0 kernel yesterday and noticed it being really slow at some point, so I emediatly checked out the status of my memory and saw that he doesn't see or know that I have a swap partition...
My 2.4.22 (Backup) kernel does see it because he still works perfectly... And yes I have a swap partition...
How do I resolve this problem? Did I forget something in the kernel's configuration?
... I forgot
This option ("CONFIG_SWAP") is found, when you do "make menuconfig", under "General setup", and is called "Support of paging of anonymous memory".
Regards
I compiled this kernel based on my previous compile (and that kernel is my current backup kernel). It's really anoying since I don't have much ram 128Mb...
no I am sorry I wasn't quit clear in my previous post... it is solved, thi swas my problem.
I can't understand what removed the line in /etc/fstab, since I never altered this file.
I did on Mandrake, but on slack all seem to be in place as it was... It couldn't be someone else either, since I am the only one using this pc.
Hmm, strange...
well, it is solved anyway... next time my pc is running in slowmo, i'll check my fstab .
well on mandrake I had to change some things in /etc/fstab, some things that weren't mounted automatic.
Since everything mounted correctly on slackware, I didn't change the fstab file, 'cause i didn't need to...
*The original kernels that came with mdk to boot mdk. (mdk)
*My previous precompiled kernel (2.4.22) which I used as backup kernel (Slack)
*My new compiled 2.6.0 kernel (slack)
The only thing shared between mdk and slack are the /home and /boot partitions...
