I note that this problem has appeared in the past and am wondering if there is a resolution: Running 6.2-STABLE on a machine that ran 4.11 flawlessly. I am seeing the message "failed to create swap_zone" right after the 2nd CPU gets enabled on a Dell PowerEdge 1300. The system blows out and reboots therafter. This same configuration works fine on a more modern Intel MOBO with a Pentium D, so I'm guessing the problem is hardware dependent. Booting a generic kernel works fine on the PowerEdge. The source code is latest STABLE as of earlier today. Has anyone else seen this and/or is there a workaround? My exact kernel config is: include SMP options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options VESA # System console options options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT # disable reboot key sequence options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=200 # number of history buffer lines options SC_PIXEL_MODE # add support for the raster text mode # The following options will change the default colors of syscons. options SC_NORM_ATTR="(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)" options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)" options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR="(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)" options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR="(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)" TIA, -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
