User Feedback :: modprobe error?

during boot up and it is scanning for harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab

i get the following line twice?
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module minix

is it an error or nothing to worry about?

You probably made a swap partiton and never formatted it with mkswap. It is usually caused by a mismatch of the listed partition type with what is actually there. Nothing to worry about, but you should correct it.

cheers

can i just login as root and enter: mkswap /dev/hda1 or do i have to create a swap file first and do something with swapon etc.?

You should probably look first.
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
Which partition is type 82?
The error could also be caused by having an unformatted regular type 83 partition. Do you know what is on your partitions?

i think its a linux swap partition maybe=82, when i created it i set the type
