I have 500MB configured as swap space, current stats:
Mem: 30248K total, 28660K used, 1588K free, 4008K buffers
Swap: 489940K total, 2664K used, 487276K free, 13600K cached
I ran a memory test using memtest86 (www.memtest86.com) and it
passed fine.
I'm going to try booting back to my 2.2.19pre17 kernel and
test this out. My kernel may be the issue. I'll report when
I've done this.
