I have noticed that my system becomes unstable shortly after it begins using swap. This usually manifests itself as a page-not-present fault in the kernel mode or a lockup, or just unpredictable and strange behavior. When I was installing I had the install program check for bad blocks on the partitions I had created, and there were 5 bad blocks in the swap partition that were marked as unusable. Does the VM mechanism of the Intel or the routines that support it know enough to ignore these bad blocks? Also- is there a way to do something like an fsck to verify the integrity of my swap partition?
