It's clear swap is not on. I think installing and running acpitool to
try to suspend to disk screwed something up.
[root at ophth-bilora chippy]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
SwapCached: 0 kB
SwapTotal: 0 kB
SwapFree: 0 kB
[root at ophth-bilora chippy]# /sbin/swapon -sv
[root at ophth-bilora chippy]# dmesg | grep swap
Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks.
