FYI:<br>I deleted the FAT16 partition and re-created (fdisk /dev/sda, mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1),<br>while leaving the other one untouched...<br>Now SWAP works on the first try.<br>ciao, mrn<br>

<p>Hi, <br>
I am trying to create a swap partition on a 1GB kingston<br>
previously partitioned to have 800MB fat and 200MB ext2<br>
when I was using it with the OS2005. <br>
extrootfs and swapon/off did work at that time well.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
Now, when trying to create the swap with the OS2006 (released)<br>
does not matter if it is 8,16,32,64MB, the machine simply seems to<br>
hang and only the power button works. (yes i do wait even 10 mins.)<br>
I need to mention that there is at least 300MB on the fat partition.<br>
</p>
<p>Please help me, i really need the swap space.<br>
thanks in advice,<br>
Marian<br>
