I just did a full build of everything, including the latest build file (july something) then followed by an emerge system, followed by building X, and most of KDE apps and other KDE stuff, cups alsa sox (I think that's it) and I did not have a problem with swap. I do get oops on the mount and unmount during startup and shutdown though. Maybe things would work better having devfs automounted with the kernel command line option ?? Target system is a dual coppermine 933 using an IDE drive for the boot and swap partitions (hda1 and hda2 respectivly) with the rest of linux on a scsi drive (sdb7 through sdb11) the drivers for ide and the ncr controller are built into the kernel, everything else that can be a module (or most of it ...) is a module.
