    Use "swapon -s" to determine if you have a swapfile or partition in use.
    If that isn't listed, try "swapon /dev/hda6" to turn it on and use the
    previous command to see if it is running.
    If not, recreate your swapfile with "mkswap /dev/hda6" and then use
    "swapon /dev/hda6"

    Hope that helps...
