Hello,

I am often running out of memory. It looks like an ACPI code is guilty:
dast@lili:~$ grep -i acpi /proc/slabinfo 
Acpi-Operand        3076   3127     64   59    1 : tunables  120   60 8 : slabdata     53     53      0

Actualy the Acpi-State's memory is increasing slowly in minutes:
Acpi-State         16176  16176     80   48    1 : tunables  120   60 8 : slabdata    337    337      0

Acpi-State         19200  19200     80   48    1 : tunables  120   60 8 : slabdata    400    400      0
Acpi-State         20160  20160     80   48    1 : tunables  120   60 8 : slabdata    420    420      0

I am not familiar with kernel sources, but i can do c pretty well.
BTW: Bios says i have 1024MB, but kernel sees 899MB :-?. The system is
pure HP nx6325. It happens with all the recent kernels .18-rc* .17.* and
debian's distribution 2.6.17-1-amd64-k8-smp.

Please Cc: to me, I read lkml only when I have a good mood.
