ok, this works for me, i don't know if it will work for others when i am compiling a kernel i use the -j switch -j 5 i notice that when i tell it to do 5 jobs at once it starts using the swap file from the very start and i have no errors hopefully this will help others with the sig 11 error when compiling the kernel if they have low memory though i would share this info with the group. i don't know why it works but it does. randy On Fri, 27 May 2005, Adam Myrow wrote: > If it's mounted, and shows up in the output of "free," then that's not the > problem.
