swap_free: swap-space map bad (entry 00000100)

[Samuel Dupas]

Hi every body,

I have theses lines in /var/log/messages

Is it a kernel problem, a hardware problem ?

On the archives on mailling lists I found nothing interresting (I mean,
only the same question but no response)
Please help me.

It's on a Cobalt Raq4, 512 Mb RAM, kernel 2.2.16C27_III

The machine write theses lines for a week, but the system doesn't work
like usual (It's very slow).

Thanks for any advice.

(I'm not subscribed to the list, can you add my address in CC please ?)
