Hello,
While transmitting packets through linux Router

2.4.20-8 caught kernel oops following there are 2
statements which are
__alloc_pages: 0 order allocation failed (gfp =
0x20/1)
eth1: Memory squeeze, dropping packet
What this means? where is the wrong thing in kenrel?
How to solve this problem?

The driver was trying to alloc a rx skb and couldn't. The incoming packet was
dropped. Assuming that the error logged is the only problem you saw, this
isn't a driver or kernel bug. It means you were out of free kernel memory.
You can see if you have any processes consuming lots of memory.
Thanks,
Jon
