Is it possible to specify a swap device in the boot params? I d/l'd the DVD version of the 9.2 live eval and only have 256mb of ram in my laptop and would like to try it before buying it. I keep getting a kernel panic when I run out of memory.
A longshot: try entering 'swap=/dev/hda117' at the boot prompt (no quotes). NOTE: hda117 is just a silly example ;). Susbstitute it with the partition that contains your swap space. Cheers, Leen
