The HDD at >this point only has a single primary partition. So the misinformation is >local. The biggest part of the grin is that you've found your problem. The /dev/sda11 partition is not mounted as a filesystem... but it is mounted as swap space. You will want to look to see if that is happening automatically at boot, or if it's just something you did once. Check /etc/fstab to see if it is listed there. And run "swapoff /dev/sda11" to clear all the problems it is causing. Then use fdisk (or cfdisk) to re-write the partition table again. >Is swapon -s simply reading /proc/swaps?

You can't just "delete" lines. They are telling you what the kernel status is. When you change the kernel status it will automatically be reflected in what can be read from the pseudo files in the /proc directory. -- Floyd L.
