Hi there, ok ok two questions: Sorry only one answer.
1) Lets say I change the swap space on my Linux (Red Hat .. sorry) system...with a new partition...do I have to reformat the new disk with mkfs? If yes with what option ext2?? Because it doesn't let me use mkfs -t swap (<--if something like this exist...which I doubt it) If I don't reformat it it doesnt mount it...
Swap partitions are handled differently. To make a swap partition on hda3, for instance, then do # mkswap /dev/hda3 to activate it use swapon
2) Ok I have an overclocked dual Celeron 550 and I want to use an SMP Kernel. I use a 2.2 version of the Kernel by the way... I set it up with make xconfig activate SMP, E.Real Time CLock, MMPR (<- is that how it is called) and deactivate APM...but it still crashes at the startup (oopps crashes and stuff) at the point where it set ups the clock. I tried everything...deactivate APM from BIOS, boot with no-hlt, floppy=nodma, mem=4M everything...even put the processor speed back to normal.. what gives?? Can anyone help..??? Or should I just bin the PC and buy a game-Boy?
Sorry, I don't know much about smp and less about game-boys. Tim -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
