This has come up before.  In the past, the problem was that the GENERIC 
kernel configuration did not support swap partitions other than on the 
same device as root (or perhaps it had trouble with multiple swap 
partitions).  I thought that Allen had fixed the GENERIC configuration so 
that it finds a swap partition, but it is possible that he didn't.

Anyway, one sure way around this is to configure a kernel that 
specifically looks for the swap partition on another disk.  If you look 
at some of the other kernel config files, at least one should show 
roughly how to do this.

Later.
