Strange messages

[Ralph W. Reid]

Judging from that message, it looks like your system is running out of
swap space, or perhaps your swap partition(s) or swap file(s) are
corrupted.  You might try creating and using a large swap file--if
that works, you were running out of swap space.  If you suspect that
your swap partition(s) may have been corrupted, you can boot with the
install CDROM or floppies and run 'setup' to re-set up your swap
partitions (mainly, you will want to reformat them).

HTH, and have a great day.
