It seems that the swap space works. I think that the installer
reinitialized the swap partition after giving you the message.
Do you still receiving the message thet the swap partition can not be
enabled? Do you able to see the swap space in the memory information
given by 'free'?
Anyway, you can disable the swap space with 'swapoff' reinitialize it
with 'mkswap' and enable it again with 'swapon'. It should eliminate the
error you described.

Please check if RHEL 3 uses hda3 as swap:
Swapon -s

I am trying to upgrade from EL 3 to EL 4. I tested the 4 CDs
and they are OK. I select the Upgrade option and press OK and
I see the
following:
error enabling swap space device hda3. No such file or
directory.
This most likely means this swap partition has not been
initialized.
Press OK to reboot.
Any ideas?
