As I understood, the limit for swap is below 32MB. I've tried to circumvent this by using 4 swap files of 31MB each, but the device crashed at boot after that, and had to be reflashed. Btw.: I use a plain file for swapspace, so there is no need to partition the RS-card. Simply dd some /dev/zero into a file and enable that by mkswap/swapon...
