RE: RH 6.2 install causes screen to explode

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

I can't remember, did they ever fix the thing where the kernel wouldn't
address more than 127mb of swap in a given swap partition?  I remember
setting up 256, 512mb swap partitions and still having it only address 127mb
worth.

Is this considered a feature?
