Since the last two couple of kernel patches I've had problems with various services unexpectedly dying (including sshd, cupsd and ypbind). Here's what I see in the logs: Feb 27 05:11:07 tweety -- MARK -- Feb 27 05:16:02 tweety kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0xf 0/0) Feb 27 05:16:18 tweety kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0xf 0/0) Feb 27 05:18:14 tweety kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0xf 0/0) Feb 27 05:18:15 tweety kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1 d2/0) Feb 27 05:18:15 tweety kernel: VM: killing process sshd I have k_smp, 2.4.20, 105 SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586), VERSION = 8.2 Linux version 2.4.20-64GB-SMP (root@SMP_X86.suse.de) (gcc version 3.3 20030226 ( prerelease) (SuSE Linux)) #1 SMP Sat Feb 7 02:07:52 UTC 2004 This all started on the 20th February and there have been thirteen instances since then. Any ideas? -- Simon Oliver
