Re: Nasty Bug (plus fix)

Sorry if this one has been beaten to death.  After installing FC4, the
kernel would tank (Oops early on the first boot after the last install
CD was out).  The problem is the swap line in /etc/fstab was seriously
mangled.  Initially it said:
LABEL=/tmp (then a bunch of garbage characters) swap swap defaults 0 0

Yup, this one is in bugzilla:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159087

The problem here is that for some reason, the part of the swap partition
that contains the partition's label doesn't get obliterated by mkswapfs
so we're reading whatever garbage was there and thinking it's a valid
label.  I should have a fix for it in a day or two.
