New submission from Simon 'corecode' Schubert <corecode at fs.ei.tum.de>:

There seems to be a limit of 16777216 blocks per swap unit (swapon told me).  
However the installer happily lets you create a swap partition of e.g. 10G. 
Reducing this to 8G makes swapon happy.  I think the installer should prevent
the user from even entering such high values.
