The Linux kernel's swap implementation is notoriously buggy, and I think 2.4.x is especially bad. I think you may have way too much swap space. Try a small value, like 12 megs or so. You might run out of memory when running userland apps, but it may keep the kernel from crashing. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
