Fedora Core 3 crashing

I don't know what's doing it, but a couple of times today, my Fedora Core 3 linux laptop has completely locked up. I can't even log in or get to a terminal to kill services...

Looks like the hard disk got corrupted a bit as well.

It turns out the swap partition was corrupted, and not mounting. I was getting my system load up to about 60, which is the highest I've ever seen.

I fixed it by using mkswap on the partition, and sudo /sbin/swapon /dev/hda5
