What kernel version are you running during the install and afterwards? I
had a similar problem where I was using a 2.4 kernel for installation,
and 2.6 for production. Synchronizing the two made sure I didn't have
any swapping issues.

However, I've customized my FAI setup maybe more than most, so YMMV for
changing the install kernel.
