The partition is unformatted is IIRC a generic IBM BM message generated among other things when a partition really is unformatted, and also when the PBR is corrupted or empty. Take a look at it (DFSee is one way) to see if it's empty. There's no reason for a swap partition to show up in IBM BM. Take it out of the BM menu with LVM or DFSee.
The first thing I did was to look at the partitions with DFSee. The Swap partition is NOT labeled as bootable, hence has no business being in the BootManager menu. In DFSee, the line for the Swap partition is as follows:
Format - SWAP Related - LinuxxV1 VolumeLabel - SWAPSPACE LVM Volume - Swap, Swap Size = 2117.9 (Obviously because I forgot to set a size, so DFSee apparently chose the maximum permissible size).
Did you actually view the partition boot sector with DFSee? Was it all zeros? You should send this to the DFSee list to find out what Jan has to say. First try _adding_ the swap partition to the BM menu, and then removing it. -- The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
