There was a problem rebooting after remounting swap but not down to that. :)I suspect it’s my other problem that I haven’t mentioned yet and due to that had to reboot via the power switch at the point when grub should kick in. That happened several times before changing anything. Mount is now

When I set swap unmounted with yast it decided to install reiserfs. Bad memories for me as the driver wrecked a disk following an update due to failing some unused disk space that was perfectly ok…
However should mount show that swap is mounted and what to do ?

However looks like swap is painful where ever it is. Currently grub has
That sounds favourite to me. Sort that out later when the final set up is working.
