I've been running 2.5.2 for a couple of days, with the low-latency patch.
Is there a patch available to fix the problem with swap? See below:

root@mail:~ > fdisk /dev/hdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1247.
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., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
