Hm. So the only thing you changed was the new kernel? Might help to |
| 11 |
know why you built the new kernel. What problem were you solving by |
| 12 |
doing it? |

I would try booting the machine without the USB swap disk and then |
| 15 |
hotplug it when the machine is already running. What does dmesg say |
| 16 |
then? Can be simpler to interpret when you know exactly which lines |
| 17 |
were printed in response to the newly connected drive. |
