This has absolutely nothing to do with RedHat nor Gentoo. The kernel is |
10 |
responsible for swap. Both Gentoo and RedHat use Linux (with the |
11 |
exception of Gentoo/MacOS and Gentoo/BSD of course) as the kernel. |

Most likely, you missed a step during the install or somewhere along the |
14 |
line. |

Here's my (hopefully) find your magical answer survey: |
17 |
|
18 |
1) Did you run mkswap during the gentoo install? If yes, which device? |
19 |
(ie /dev/hda5) |
20 |
2) You've already answered someone else when they asked if you had the |
21 |
entry in fstab, please post the entry. |
22 |
3) Post the output of "dmesg | grep swap" |
23 |
4) Which kernel (and version) are you using? |
24 |
5) Post the output of "grep -i swap /usr/src/linux/.config" |
25 |
6) If it exists, post the output of "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" |
26 |
|
27 |
That's all I can think of for now... Hopefully that will generate |
28 |
enough information so that we can help you fix your problem. |
