I'm running the Apr 26, 2001 snapshot (1.5.1 beta 1).

I have read the swapctl man page severally, but cannot find what I am
doing incorrectly.

Both the GENERIC and install kernels return the same error message.  My
own hand-configured/compiled kernel returns the same error message as
well.

Could there be some kernel options that are required to enable swap space?
