Hello all,
I found a few references to similar problems in the list but no
indications of whether this has been fixed or can be avoided.
I'm using 2.6.8.1 and the patch: sk98lin_v7.04_2.6.8_patch. This
happens when receiving data fast on the GigE card (about 600Mbps) and
writing on disk. It seems to happen after writing 1 GB to disk (1024
MB) but I can't correlate that very reliably.
I would appreciate any information pointing me to a fix or explanation.
Thank you!

The messages should be basically harmless and can't be completely avoided.
That said, -mm kernels have patches to fix up numerous problems with the
page
allocator which have a good chance of fixing your problems.
