Just a follow up for those who are interested.

I killed update, because I thought it was the culprate.

Well X boots much futher and stays up much longer before xinit, XF86_SVGA, syslog core.

Interesting.. Well I just repartition it for a local swap partition.

Even if it had worked I don't think swapping to an msdos file system
is a very good idea because the msdos filesystem is horribly slow.
