Hi,
I installed an ibook G4 (256 Mo SDRAM) with Fedora 9 PPC.
I have a problem with the SWAP.
- the gnome system appet show me that I don t use the SWAP...
- when I use top command I get:
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 82388k cached
- the SWAP partition size is 1024 Mo !
I set it at install time and I verify with now with gparted
- The SWAP partition is in the /etc/fstab:
LABEL=SWAP-hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
Uh, oh. Methinks I see an issue here. First, I didn't know you could
use labels for swap partitions (since they don't have a real filesystem
on them). I've always used the /dev name of the device (in my case
using LVM, it's /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01).
On top of that, partition 4 is the extended partition which contains
/dev/hda5, /dev/hda6 and so on. Using that as swap (if you could force
it) might cause LOTS of grief. A dump of "fdisk -l" would be nice.
If you have a /dev/hda5 in there, then using hda4 as swap can be fatal.
- When I run a task that use some CPU/Memory, It crashs the kernel
When I does not crash, I get some really bad errors like "can not fork:
counld not alocate memory"
Due to this problem, I can not run yum update on X session, It uses to
memory
I run init 3 and then I run yum update ...
But It is not a normal behaviour
Someone have any idea of what happened ?
What does "swapon -s" show? Here's mine (granted, X86_64):
[root@prophead ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 partition 2031608 1500 -1
