Comment 8 for bug 69208

My swap is listed as "ok" while booting, but is never mounted.
This is a freshly installed edgy x86 on a Thinkpad T60 core2 duo.

The only way for me to get swap working is to:
1 - launch gparted
2 - right-click on swap partition
3 - select "swapon"

Curiously enough, sleep, hibernaste and resume from both work, although they randomly fail (independently of whether the swap is on or not). There have been several reports about sleep failing randomly regarding thinkpads.

If the swap is not on, I get applications quitting or not launching because the kernel complains about lack of available memory, so the swap is really not on.

I remain puzzled.
