[CLUE-Tech] 2.4 Compilation Questions

[Grant Johnson]

Is the SCSI compiled at all?  When you do get it running, and go to a 
command line and type "free" what does it say about swap?

If you are trying to run the swap off of SCSI and it is neither a module 
nor static compiled in, of course it won't work.

I see 2 options:  Compile it in static and comment out the lines in 
modules.conf, or compile it as a module.  Since you are obviously not 
booting from it, I would go for the module idea.
