Judging from that message, it looks like your system is running out of swap space, or perhaps your swap partition(s) or swap file(s) are corrupted. You might try creating and using a large swap file--if that works, you were running out of swap space. If you suspect that your swap partition(s) may have been corrupted, you can boot with the install CDROM or floppies and run 'setup' to re-set up your swap partitions (mainly, you will want to reformat them). HTH, and have a great day. On Sat, Dec 23, 2006 at 02:39:09AM -0500, dan Murphy wrote: > Hello. > I have a question about certain messages I receive from time to > time.
