How do you get swap working with r4 kitchen ROM?

[Guest The Jason8r]

I'm running the r4 kitchen ROM with a2sd on an 8GB class 6 sd card.

Here's my partition table:

# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0


Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166 MB, 8166309888 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 992 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes


              Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1               1         828     6644800   b Win95 FAT32

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:

     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(827, 62, 2)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2             828         893      524288  83 Linux

Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):

     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(827, 63, 1)

Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:

     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(892, 132, 4)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3             893         992      799090  82 Linux swap

[/codebox]

When I try turning on swap through adb, I get this:

[codebox]#
# swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Function not implemented
#

Am I doing something wrong, and if so, what should I be doing instead?

Thanks,

J

needs a custom kernel also why would you want swap the phone has a lot of ram already

That's true, it does have a lot of ram, but with some swap space I won't have to worry about running ATK to free up memory, so I'm looking forward to a custom kernel with swap support.
