Subject: Odd __alloc_pages failure in 2.4.9
Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2001 11:33:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010825113344.A528@hapablap.dyn.dhs.org> (raw)
Running kernel 2.4.9, if I start xcdroast 0.98alpha9 as an ordinary
user, the system seems to freeze indefinitely.
If I start it as root, however, the system only freeze for 2-3 seconds.
After this time, if I check dmesg, I get a slew of __alloc_pages
failures, even 0-order failures.
Being unable to diagnose the complete lockup in the user case any
better, I assume that this is what's happening there, too, only
indefinitely.
The system is an AMD Thunderbird 900MHz with 2 IDE CD-ROM drives, both
use ide-scsi. One is a burner, the other is a DVD-ROM drive.
I'll try and get a backtrace of whats happening during the lockup later
when I can hook up my serial console.
