I installed Debian Lenny on my PC (/dev/hda1) without any swap partition. I recompiled my kernel to boot without using an initrd.
Now when I boot to my base system, I still see following messages from the init scripts on my console: Activating swap...Done .................... ..................... Activating swapfile sawp...Done After doing a find it seems that these messages are spitted out by scripts mountall.sh and checkroot.sh files in /etc/init.d/ directory. My question is what is the best way to disable these messages and the associated function with those messages? Should I just comment out the relevant swap portition in those two init files? Here are contents of my fstab file: # less /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /etc/fstab (END) Here is my drive structure: debian:/etc/init.d# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x9c9a78cd Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1824 14651248+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 1825 5472 29302560 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1825 3648 14651248+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 3649 5472 14651248+ 83 Linux debian:/etc/init.d# Thanks
