Thank you for your help.
Before your mail, I tried to re-install the ibook with an other
partitioning...
I selected "Removes all partitions and creates default partitions" ...
With this option, I get a F9 system with no swap problem !
Now it works ! :)
About my previous swap problem, there are 2 options:
- I made a bad personnal partitioning... possible, but I don't know why
and I did not get any anaconda warning/error...
- Anaconda and/or F9 have a bug on PPC when using personal partitioning...
(I installed 3 times F9 on this ibook with personal partitioning and 3
times I get this swap problem...)

There is a valid Mac label on this disk.
Unfortunately fdisk(1) cannot handle these disks.
Use either pdisk or parted to modify the partition table.
Nevertheless some advice:
1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write.
2. Be sure that this disk is NOT a still vital
part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may
erase the other disks as well, if unmirrored.)

I seems that I have no extended partition ...
It can be apple specific...
It very well may be.

And swapon -s .... is empty :(((((
[root@ibook ~]# swapon -s

I install 3 times F9, I always use the manual partitionning, and I
get I times this swap problem...
Ok, try "swapon -a" (should start swap). Watch carefully to see if it
complains about any missing devices. If it does NOT complain, try
"swapon -s" and see if it's working.
If "swapon -a" DOES complain, you may need to change your /etc/fstab
to use the "/dev/sda4" nomenclature rather than "LABEL=swap-sda4". It
may be that swapon doesn't recognize the label on the filesystem. You
can also try "swapon -L swap-sda4" (to manually try to force the
label) or "swapon /dev/sda4" (to manually use /dev/sda4).

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
