Please read the installation manual before you install. Here's the section
on the swap partition:

"The minimum size of your swap partition should be equal to twice the amount of 
your computer's RAM or 32 MB, whichever is larger."

Your swap is too small.  2.4 isn't the same as 2.2, and the requirements
are different. You're shooting yourself in the foot.

Note tha the installation manual is available online in HTML format, or you
can download it as a PDF, HTML tarball, or RPM.  No excuses.
