Comment 28 for bug 348731

Right at the moment, gparted reports that the swap partition is mounted, and I'm pretty sure it has been for all of the kernel panics. I've got 4GB of RAM and 4GB of swap, and the system usually reports it is using most of the RAM (with lots of cache though) and hardly any swap.

Do you mean that you think the VMM tried to use swap memory, or that it ran out of swap+ram (ie all 8GB got used up)? Could it be a problem with a corrupted swap format, or with the VMM driver?
