Bug#307457: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686-smp: running into oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd0 often

[Toni Mueller <support@oeko.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686-smp
Severity: important



Hello,

I find error messages like the one above (not sure about the actual
value of gfp_mask) on a regular basis in the logs. Sometimes I just find
out hard because the machine simply crashes shortly after. This makes
the machine in question unreliable, crashing at least every few weeks.
Therefore I'm flagging this bug as "important".

Hardware is a rather new IBM x205, with ServeRAID4, GigE, and 1GB RAM.


Best,
