kernel problem

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
	At work, our web server is running zeus with kernel 2.0.36.

	The kern.log has the following message:

	May 17 15:59:18 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 17 16:00:18 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 18 12:05:01 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 18 12:05:18 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 18 12:05:55 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 18 12:26:17 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 19 14:20:04 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
	May 19 15:50:03 newmi5 kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....

	However, top reports there are heaps of memory left.

	  4:03pm  up 40 days, 21:53, 15 users,  load average: 0.40, 0.42, 0.36
	  217 processes: 216 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
	  CPU states:  7.6% user,  6.7% system,  0.0% nice, 86.4% idle
	  Mem:  256928K av, 247616K used,   9312K free, 104016K shrd, 122876K buff
	  Swap: 261496K av,   3676K used, 257820K free                 41000K cached


	Do I need to apply a patch or something??

	Thanks.

Shao.
