RE: swapper: page allocation failure (2.6.10-rc2)

[Piszcz, Justin Michael]

I also got it with 2.6.10-rc2; it is a known problem with the e1000
driver and you can try turning off TCP TSO with ethtool or increase the
vm_max_bytes(search mailing list for exact file).

Alternatively, revert to 2.6.8.1.
