Reformat your SD card.

Just reformatted the card (4GB card, by the way) using sfdisk & mkdosfs. No luck, though, still getting the corrupted virtual memory error. The filesystem appears to be fine (df reports a size slightly smaller than the partition size as reported in /proc/partitions).
What's strange is that if I try to create a swap file of less than 64MB from the Memory applet, it succeeds & I can see the swap enabled when I type 'free'. Until I reboot, that is - I then get the corrupted message and swap is disabled.
If I try to create a swap file 64MB or greater, it fails immediately with the corrupted message.
If I create /media/mmc2/.swap manually (dd,mkswap,swapon), it succeeds regardless of size until the next reboot.
Something's seriously flaky here.

It gets weirder. I can umount /media/mmc2 OK, but as soon as I run sfdisk on /dev/mmcblk0, something automatically re-mounts /media/mmc2 and attempts to re-enable virtual memory (resulting in the "virtual memory corrupted" error), even though I've told the system not to use it.
wtf?
wtf?

I have that same problem. I'm thinking of reflashing.
Not sure at what point this happened, or if I did anything to cause it, but for some reason I'm no longer able to enable virtual memory file on my N800. /etc/osso_software_version is: RX-34+RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_MR0
If I try to enable it, I get this message: "Virtual memory file corrupted and disabled. Use the Memory applet in the Control panel to enable it."
But if I do that, I just get the same message over & over. Resizing the file does not help either.
The swap file is /media/mmc2/.swap, right? (which is my internal memory card). I tried manually creating a swap file:
# cd /media/mmc2 # dd if=/dev/zero of=.swap bs=1024 count=65536 # mkswap .swap # swapon .swap # free total used free shared buffers Mem: 126828 123272 3556 0 20 Swap: 65528 0 65528 Total: 192356 123272 69084Any ideas? Maybe my SD card is bad?
