Swap Again

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

I had some problems deleting a 2 Gig parttion from my second hard drive,
I wanted
to split it as 1.5 Gig for a filesystem and 0.5 Gig for swap...

Since this was a fresh install, I decided to scrap it and redo the
installation,

I repartitioned the two drives as follows at install

3 Gig - hda
8 Gig - hdc


Upon booting the machine I get the following error messages regarding
swap

BEGIN SNIPET
------------------------------------
Activating swap partitions

swapon: warning: /dev/hdc8 has insecure permissions 0660, 0600 suggested

swapon: warning: /dev/hda6 has insecure permissions 0660, 0600 suggested

swapon: /dev/hda6: Invalid argument

[FAILED]
-------------------
END SNIPET

What can I do to remedy this problem?

Can swap partitions be larger than 128M?

thanks,

Ahbaid.
