I only have 1.2gig of RAM so I use the 4GIG mem option, the server crashed yesterday after two weeks of uptime with the error BUG at Highmem.c :155 . It is running Kernel 2.4.3.... as per my other post... I have seen this problem come up a number of times with as yet no solution. I initially found a large amount of memory (/etc/slabinfo) used by icache and dcache entries. As a result a patch was released to fix this but the problem remains... random freezes for a number of seconds while editing a file, viewing a directory, etc.. ??
