After the error the processes are getting killed and system is rebooted. I am not understanding why the MM is trying is allocate pages from HIGH Memory (gfp=0x1d2/0) when I dont have High memory and the kernel is also not enabled to support High memory. I have put the printk's to see how kswapd is woken up to free unused pages because I dont want to run out of memory. Here is log: try_to_free_pages_zone try_to_free_pages_zone try_to_free_pages_zone __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0) VM: killing process cp_test Received SIGCHLDtry_to_free_pages_zone cp_test exited (PID = 213).Invalid TFTP URL for exporting crash-dumps... __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1f0/0) ry_to_free_pages_zone try_to_free_pages_zone try_to_free_pages_zone Thanks, Vandana __________________________________ Yahoo!
