Swapon hangs

I have an mbr disk with a formatted swap partition. During boot the system hangs on: Adding 15625212k swap on /dev/sda2. Priority: -2 extents: 1 across: 15625212k SS. Booting without the swap in fstab running mkswap and then swapon - still makes it hang. Dmesg reveals no errors, segfaults, warnings...

I have a custom kernel and CONFIG_SWAP is on, is there any other setting I should look for?

If I format the partition as ext4, I can mount it without any issues.

The disk is a sata m2 if that affects anything.

Re: Swapon hangs

Did yoiu check maybe some swap-related missing CONFIG_?
If you're having doubts, you can compare and have a look at the options inside the Default Arch Config: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … unk/config

Re: Swapon hangs

Does it work w/ a swap file?
Does it work w/ the stock kernel?
Do you use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rasdaemon ( https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76354 )

zgrep -i swap /proc/config.gz
