I have been running Red Hat 5.2 for over a year now. I have just put
Mandrake 6.1 on the same system. However, RH 6.0 was a disaster, so this
time I took things carefully: I installed M 6.1 in its own boot and root
partions. BUT I have them both sharing the same swap space. That may have
been an error. I get this error message from dmesg, and no swap partition.

1) Is there any way to allow the two installations to share the same swap
space?

2) Failing that, is there anything short of re-installing with a new swap
partition I can do? Such as: back up the Mandrake root and boot
partitions, twiddle the partitions, restore the partitions, re-run LILO?

Thank you.
