Hi all,

Not sure at what point this happened, or if I did anything to cause it, but for some reason I'm no longer able to enable virtual memory file on my N800. /etc/osso_software_version is: RX-34+RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_MR0

If I try to enable it, I get this message: "Virtual memory file corrupted and disabled. Use the Memory applet in the Control panel to enable it."

But if I do that, I just get the same message over & over. Resizing the file does not help either.

The swap file is /media/mmc2/.swap, right? (which is my internal memory card). I tried manually creating a swap file:

Code:
# cd /media/mmc2
# dd if=/dev/zero of=.swap bs=1024 count=65536
# mkswap .swap
# swapon .swap
# free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:       126828       123272         3556            0           20
 Swap:        65528            0        65528
Total:       192356       123272        69084
So that seemed to work fine. But on the next reboot, I get the same "Virtual memory corrupted" error again.

Any ideas? Maybe my SD card is bad?
