all-
after upgrading to the 2.4.10-pre6 kernel i still have no luck in avoiding
alloc_pages() errors.
this time i have included an kernel oops dump by calling BUG() from
mm/page_alloc.c immediately after the call to printk() that prints
__alloc_pages errors. i have also included the `ksymoops` interpretation
of that oops. coincidentally, i was able to grab a partial `cat` of
/proc/slabinfo milliseonds before the oops so i've attached that as well.
again, the alloc_page() errors that i'm constantly seeing are 0-order with
gfp=0x70/1

i can probide any additional information neccessary to help you debug this
problem.
for ease of use, i have attached the 3 files pasted above as oops1.txt,
ksymoops1.txt and slabinfo1.txt respectively.
thanx,
-kelley
ps: my thoughts to those of you with any family involved in yesterday's
most heinous event.
