Disabling Swap Activation Message

[Tech Geek <techgeek12345@gmail.com>]

I installed Debian Lenny on my PC (/dev/hda1) without any swap partition. I recompiled my kernel to boot without using an initrd.

 

Now when I boot to my base system, I still see following messages from the init scripts on my console:

 

Activating swap...Done

....................

.....................

Activating swapfile sawp...Done

 

After doing a find it seems that these messages are spitted out by scripts mountall.sh and checkroot.sh files in /etc/init.d/ directory.

 

My question is what is the best way to disable these messages and the associated function with those messages?

 

Should I just comment out the relevant swap portition in those two init files?

 

Here are contents of my fstab file:

# less /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/etc/fstab (END)

Here is my drive structure:

debian:/etc/init.d# fdisk -l /dev/hda
