We need to know what parameters you used with the dd command to create the swap file. It is possible with the wrong paramters that you may have corrupted your partition table or master boot record. Any other commands entered after the dd command would also be appreciated. I was able to successfully do this with the following commands. # dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=8192 # mkswap swapfile 8192 # sync # swapon swapfile I was not able to replicate the problem mentioned by the reporter. |
