Hi,

A Linux server (RHEL AS4 on Dell poweredge 1650), is hanging while
booting.
It displays the following and hangs indefintely.

Loading Swap Space [ok]

How do I go about troubleshooting this issue.  Please suggest.

Regards,

I too have had this same difficulty.  It is especially noticable when I
move from one kernel version to the next.  In order to work around this
issue, I simply ran mkswap on the swap partition.  Anyone know what the
real issue is?
