Hi All,

We have a xSeries 330 server here with a 1GHz PIII and 4GB of RAM. When
trying to boot 4.3-RELEASE on it, I get (booting the install CD)
panic: swap_pager_swap_init: swap_zone=NULL

This does not change if I bump NKPT up to 64, as DG recently suggested on
-hackers. An identical machine with 1GB of RAM works like a champ (with
either setting of NKPT).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nadav
