I know this has been written about before, but I don't seem to have
any of those messages here, and it's never bothered me before... :-)

After upgrading my KA650 to -current as of 1998-01-21 (from 1.3_BETA),
my swap partition is suddenly unusable.  It shows up in the output
from 'swapctl -l', but as soon as the system tries to actually swap
to it, it's panic time, with an "illegal DMA" message.

I'll take down and quote the exact details if need be, but for now
I just hope that someone will tell me a simple way to fix it, since
there have been quite a few cases of this problem earlier.  Gunnar:
I believe you had this problem?  I couldn't find it in the FAQ...
