Hello:

I am having a strange problem after installing FC3 on two machines. On
both machines the swap partition did not come up automatically when i
booted the machine.

when i do  "free" it gives me the following output.

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       2058472     329424    1729048          0      99224     108404
-/+ buffers/cache:     121796    1936676
Swap:           0          0             0

my /etc/fstab shows the following

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2

0 0
/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto   
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed
0 0

i even tried to change the label from SWAP-hda6 to /dev/hda6 but still
the same result.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
