I will make a patch that can automatically retry > smaller memory allocs when memory is insufficient. This concerns me a bit - why would there be insufficient memory on a 64 bit VM with 4 GBytes of RAM just after startup (presumably the host's memory isn't the issue)? Additionally, while things might fail just when things are starting up, doing ifup eth0 at some point later succeeds so whatever issue it had seems temporary. Perhaps it would be wise to adding some debugging output to see if the allocation really failed and why... -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
