After doing the retorecon, I'm getting fewer messages but swap is not
coming on at boot.

Why doesn't "swapon -a -e" work?

Hi Rick!

Lets go back a bit.  What is in /etc/fstab?
# Mine is a bit strange me doing quad boot FC5, Ubuntu, Suse, and Sun.
-------------------------------------------------
tod@tod-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

tod@tod-desktop:~$ dmesg | grep -i swap
[17179635.188000] Adding 1318456k swap on /dev/hda2.  Priority:-1
extents:1 across:1318456k
---------------------------------------------------
Is the device in fstab what you want and will the options defined
work?  In my case /dev/hda2 was made and chosen by Solaris and I
simply copied, pasted the line in Solaris to this Ubunut fstab.
Anyway, I think it is likely fstab will have a clue.

Good Hunting!

Tod
