I'm having the problem again. This time, I'm using 2.6.35.4. Would changing from 1gb kernel/3gb user to 2gb/2gb help? I don't believe I actually use more than 1gb or so of user space memory anyway. 64-bit would require that I completely reinstall this system which is definately not something I want to do. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
