Version: 1.3k6

I just upgraded from Mandrake 5.3 to 7.0 and, when I got into KDE, I saw that I
had no swap space. I then tried to do swapon and it said the device was busy. I
edited the sysinit scripts and turned on swap as early as possible, then did
top and saw I had swap. I got into KDE and no swap. /proc/swaps indicates that
there is swap and how much is used.

I think I've figured out what happened. Here is /proc/meminfo from a 5.3 box
using Linux 2.0.36:

        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  11902976 11513856   389120  5369856   802816  3719168
Swap: 133500928 43601920 89899008
MemTotal:     11624 kB
MemFree:        380 kB
MemShared:     5244 kB
Buffers:        784 kB
Cached:        3632 kB
SwapTotal:   130372 kB
SwapFree:     87792 kB

Here is the laptop running 7.0 and 2.2.14:

        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  131043328 122793984  8249344 62627840  3268608 20979712
Swap: 133885952 13316096 120569856
MemTotal:    127972 kB
MemFree:       8056 kB
MemShared:    61160 kB
Buffers:       3192 kB
Cached:       20488 kB
BigTotal:         0 kB
BigFree:          0 kB
SwapTotal:   130748 kB
SwapFree:    117744 kB

The BigTotal and BigFree lines are where SwapTotal and SwapFree were in 2.0 and
are probably what is confusing kpm.
