I understand that the "not using swap" refers to 2.6 kernel only, right?

Because on 2.4, we use swap on several systems quite heavily. I  have
to admit that we had to patch pgtable.h to get it work.

[In case anybody needs it: it's this patchset in our CVS tree:

	PatchSet 80

	Fix swap problem as observed on IVMS systems with IDE harddisk.

Best regards,
