I had to take the battery out, there was no other way. Is there a problem with where or how I am doing my swap file? I don't want to risk another pseudo 'bricking' and starting from scratch. Any help would be much appreciated!
Several people have reported problems with swap routines. I have just not had time to really look into it. I suggest using the Virtual Memory in the Control Panel if you are experiencing these issues. I also recommend putting the virtual memory on another card, one your not booting from if possible.

I have just been really busy. I work at EMC/IBM Reseller as a systems engineer. I do however get paid somewhat on what is sold. It appears at the moment we need to work twice as hard to make half as much. Much of my time lately, is being spent doing actual work so I can eat and feed the kids

I had my crawlspace flood, and that's where my furnace is. I finally got it pumped out, 1000$ to the furnace guy and I can finally turn off the oven.

So real life in general has been keeping me busy. I will try to get an update out at some point. Use virtual memory for now.

Anyone looking to purchase any EMC or IBM SAN/UNIX/INTEL let me know

Or if your looking for a remote unix admin, or have a position in a warm climate.
