Hello,
Is this normal:
Dec 14 12:33:32 alien kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed.
System deadlocked about one minute later.
I have hard resource limits set.

This means that somebody tried to allocate a physically
contiguous area of 2^2 = 8 pages, but such an area
wasn't available.

Any idea which part of the kernel deadlocked? Was it
the network driver, the VM subsystem, .... ?

Ehrm. 2^2 = 4.

I suspect the VM, it's been doing strange things since -test11, -test10 was
working fine. There was heavy fork operation going on (about 50 processes).
Today got also 3-order allocation failures, probably from IDE driver or SCSI
cdrom because cdda2wav triggered them. It happens every time when I start
cdda2wav (with -B option). CDRW drive is only IDE device in the system,
harddisks are SCSI.
