hi again slugs,
sorry about this,
the swap partition is not being very friendly.

i've created the swap partition with fdisk
i've changed the id to linux swap (82)
rebooted. (yeah i know... just like windows)

mkswap /dev/hda3
setting up swapspace version 0, size = 103215104 bytes

swapon -a
swapon: /dev/hda3: device or resource busy.

fstab has swap in /dev/hda3. this is where swap was origionally.
reboot again but swap failing
always busy when swapon /dev/hda3 is typed as well.

any more ideas grandmasters?
