David I had this same problem when I got my Tungsten T, if you did what I did, after the pc hung you power cycled the pc and by doing this corrupted the filesystem, you will need to boot from a cd, I used a Knoppix cd and then mount you hard disk under Knoppix and perform a reiserfsck on the partition, if you have a different filesystem you will need to a fsck etc... After the reiserfsck is completed you can recycle your pc and all should boot just fine, if you are as lucky as I was.

This system had been working fine until today. I was trying to configure jpilot to sych Evolution to a new Palm Tungsten E. At one point I restarted the system and it stopped at "Setting up loopback interface" . After about ten minutes it continued with the error, "_alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)" Booting appeared to continue normally until it got to "Starting hotplugging services" at which point it hung and never continued. All I could do was reset the computer with the same result. I tried to unplug all usb devices to no avail.

Any ideas?
