Problem with swap partition.

Problem with swap partition.

[David Eduardo Gomez Noguera]

Hello.
I have just changed to a new hard disk:

Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 77545 cylinders

Nr AF  Hd Sec  Cyl  Hd Sec  Cyl    Start     Size ID
 1 00   1   1    0  15  63   65       63    66465 83
 2 00   0   1   66  15  63 1023    66528 77952672 83
 3 00  15  63 1023  15  63 1023 78019200   146160 82
 4 00   0   0    0   0   0    0        0        0 00

The 3'rd partition is a Linux Swap,
/dev/hdc3         77401     77545     73080   82  Linux swap

but swapon -a gives
swapon: /dev/hdc5: Invalid argument

its a 40Gb hd seagate ultra ata.

Is there any issue with them? (dont think so, since the other partitions
work ok). its a 2.4.17 .

ps. I dont know if i might be missing some kernel module.

What about correct /etc/fstab entries? :)

BTW you have done a mkswap on the swap partition, did you?

Is hcd5 in your /etc/fstab? - might need to change that to hdc3

$ vi /etc/fstab
(change 'hdc5' to 'hdc3'.)
$ mkswap /dev/hdc3 && swapon -a

and then please
$ man 5 fstab
