Thank you for the advice. With a little tweaking, my partitions now look like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ 82 Linux swap Will Linux automatically start using that as a swap, or do I have to do something to mount it or in any way initiate it's use?
mkswap /dev/hdb2 swapon /dev/hdb2
And add this to your /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0

P.S. I hope /dev/hdb2 isn't a slave ATA device? Or is it an SATA device?
