Turns out that my swap failed to work. I thought that when I did a mkswap, a label would be used and the fstab would somehow get correctly set. I was wrong on both counts. grrr. I had to hardpath the swap (/dev/hda3) into the fstab and then run swapon -a command. I rechecked swap and now I have something other than "0" Again, thanks for the tips!
