This is a stock potato 2.2.19 kernel from my initial installation of debian about 2 days ago. In the logs it definitly shows "Adding Swap:..." and no errors. 'free' and 'swapon -s' show that I have 64 megs of swap space on my swap partition that are completely empty. So why does it refuse to use the swap even when main memory is choking on many apps, most of them sleeping?
