Turns out that neither 4.x or 5.x like to have swap on a umass driven hard drive. Even light swapping will result in swap in and swap out errors till init tanks taking the box down. If you instead create a file on the drive, and use vn (md on 5.x) to create a file backed virtual drive, it'll swap just fine to that. 5.0RC1, RC2, and a current build from Jan 9th 2003 all fail miserably under stress with kmem_map failures. Given I've only 28MB of ram and the kernel itself wires down 7.5MB I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Attempting to compile a kernel is enough to trip it every time. Doing a generic kernel it pops when it tries to compile cam More news as I make further progress.
