And not just for rh80, but for 7.3 and 7.2 as well. Not good. I'll be checking bugzilla later today to see what has been posted there about it, you might want to do the same thing.

It is a "virtual window" into the inner workings of the running kernel. Very cool. And don't run fsck on your swap partition either, that's not needed. Perhaps the best way to check the integrity of swap partitions is to go into single user mode, turn off swap (to make sure it isn't being used), then try making an ext2 or ext3 parition on it with verbose bad-block checking. _Then_ check it with fsck. (Don't mount it). Finally, run "mkswap" on that parition and "swapon" to enable it again. (Note that swap partitions don't normally need formatting like that, it is enough to set the partition type to "linux swap" with fdisk and then enable it with mkswap). > I rebooted using the previous kernel and all was OK.
