Re: DSL on SUSE

"jon cosby" schrieb

You're out of swap!

You have either never setup any swap partition - which I don't
believe any
distro will let you get away with or something bad happened in
you startup
scripts.

Try "swap on"

Your box reports 497712k in RAM and you are currently using
382540k. As soon
as you use up the final 115172k of RAM, your box will hit the
wall. This is
what might be happening through the startup script execution.
As 115172k of free RAM is a piss in the Mississippi, I
recommend you taking
a deep breath and start the partitioner immediately!

How? I have to unmount the SUSE partition before I can resize it
and
repartition.

As Dan said, try the command "swap on" as root in a terminal.
If this fails, give us the output of
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
(-l as list, this will provide a list of the partitions on /dev/hda)
# cat /etc/fstab
(this will provide a list of mount points of your system)
