Do you mean that mkswap segfaulted during install, or after?  I'll have a
closer look.  The util-linux we're using is a little old.

It segfault during install _and_ after install when we tried to set up
swap space manualy.

I'm not sure what happened during install -- I just wanted to have it
done to see the real prompt ;-) But when I tried mkswap /dev/sdb2 on
the prompt, it said something about freeing free buffer? (or whatever)
and then gave register dump. Sorry, I'm at home and can't get to the
machine because sshd isn't running there yet, so I will send the exact
output tomorrow.

Honza is not yet here, so there is the output:

#mkswap /dev/sdb2
Segmentation fault
#

and on console (there is no syslogd :( ) is:

#dmesg

The same with recompiled mkswap.

Hope it helps.

I tried to compile our (international) ssh, but it ends with "not
enough memory" :( This indy has 32MB ram, maybe I will shut down our
web server and boot linux there, it has little bit more RAM and is
faster...
No, that's not goot idea :-(
