Hi again, > If you're not trying to allocate from a module, you might > want to update your kernel to 2.6.20 and see if you can > recreate the Oops. Still causes a panic on 2.6.20, however I get: ======================================== bootmem alloc of 4096 bytes failed! Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory ======================================== I thought it might be my kernel config, so I tried compiling the kernel with whatever the kernel defaulted to, but this fails as well. Any ideas?
