Reboot, no swap partitions will be used and you can then figure things out and add a proper swap entry. Use the "linux rescue" feature of CD1 to boot and mount your hard drive. Or add "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel boot line via grub, (this may require a "mount / -oremount,rw" after getting a command prompt). Good Luck, Sean
