|
i just finished installing gentoo 2004.3 on my i686 box. i only have a decent idea of what i am doing so i need a little help. when it boots and trys to execute the "swapon" command for my swap partition (/dev/hda2) it returns with the error that the device is busy or in use. any suggestions on why or how to go about correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

| What does your /etc/fstab say? What does `mount` report once the system is booted? Could be that /dev/hda2 is already mounted? |
