I just upgraded my kernel from 2.4.4 to 2.4.7 following the guidelines of the
recent SuSE kernel security update (syncookie exploit).
Everything was fine for several hours when all of a sudden I got these kernel
error messages:
Dec 8 23:06:42 helios kernel: failed.
Dec 8 23:06:42 helios kernel: __alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed.
Dec 8 23:06:42 helios kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed.
Dec 8 23:06:42 helios kernel: __alloc_pages: 1-order allocation failed.
Dec 8 23:06:42 helios kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed.
and loads more repeated like that.
After further examination I noticed that it happens whenever I go into
X-CD-Roast and select any of the following:
CD/Image Info
Read Tracks
Verify Tracks
Master Tracks
all of the other menus are ok.
For X-CD-Roast I got the SuSE 7.2 rpms from their site and installed it (they
were more up to date than the SuSE versions that came on CD).
I have 0.98 alpha 9 which is the latest version of X-CD-Roast.
Under 2.4.4 I've been happily burning CDs for some time.
Is there something screwy about 2.4.7 which might stop me from doing this?
If that's the case I'd be looking at a pretty rapid downgrade :-(
I could try burning anyway but I don't like to ignore serious errors like
this.
