Yes, 2.6.3 and 2.6.6 on the two different machines

I tried that (after first running swapoff -a), and then I let the
machine work on some different programs for a while, but it still
doesn't use swap

/var/log/messages states that the swap is added without problems (the
only strange this is that the priority keeps dropping by one, each
time I re-add the swap).

May 13 10:38:50 Jupiter kernel: Adding 473876k swap on /dev/hda5.
Priority:-4 extents:1
