(another?) Not currently OK to rewrite swap log

Hi, this appears to have been covered before with suggestions of memory
failure but I'm half expecting something else to be behind it.

I've just installed a couple of new scsi drives to complement the 9GB
already installed. The IDE containing the O/S decided to shit itself at
the end of my good work, and after a weekend of 'ide reset timeout' woes
with a new IDE, I upgraded to linux 2.2.2 and all recommended utils.
disabling DMA probes 'and stuff' got me mobile again but alas, with my
new squid installation and config, the swap.state file on my 9GB scsi
(somehow) got zeroed.

Now I seem unable to rebuild my cache due to the violation below.

You guessed it - I also installed another 128MB of SDRAM in amongst
those scsi cables and I'm hanging out for any reason not to have to
debug my RAM.

I thought maybe it could be a malloc problem due to changes in /proc or
something. Anything.

There's only 300KB free on that cache partition (Max Swap size: 8294400
KB) and I've no idea what size the final swap file would be (although it
was obviously there before).

Regards,
