I did a : It does not occur in the kernel. This message is from one of the programs : which are started during boot, e.g., in /etc/rc. : This program's name is (didn't you guess it from the error message): : savecore : I had exactly this problem and solved it by looking at three things: : 1. If you had a line containing : ... root on as0 swap on as0 : in your config file (e.g. SCSITEST), you should change that : to : ... root on sd0 swap on sd0 : 2. Look at the "swap386bsd.c" file in your configuration directory : This should include something like "sd0". : : 3. Do a "disklabel -r sd0". : If it doesn't show something like : b: .... swap ... : then this could be another cause of your problem. You have to fix it. : I won't recommend writing a new disklabel here, because after my : bad experience with disklabel I am very careful using it. : Do not misunderstand this statement. The actions "disklabel" : did to my harddisk were all caused by me ! : : I have no experience with that, but I wonder whether one shouldn't have a look at /etc/fstab in such a case. That file should be decisive for what devices are used as swap space, shouldn't it? -- Ulf R.
