OS: Ubuntu 7.10 x86.


During installation I had created a partition named /hdc1 for swap, but
Ubuntu is not using it:

/dev/hdc3         292G  13G 265G  5% /

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 38913.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
 (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

/dev/hdc3         123     38792  310616775  83 Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Any ideas on how to make Ubuntu use it?



Thanks,
