| |
Last night, one of your production machines got wedged, I caught a lot of kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for ... for a whole range of processes, among them ypbind, klogd, syslogd, xntpd, cron, nscd, X, master (Postfix super daemon), pvmd3, K applications and so on, I was unable to log in via ssh, someone on-site has finally reset that machine this noon to bring it back online.
How can I get rid of those do_try_to_free_pages lockups? That box exports root file systems for some SparcStation 2 that are used as X terminals, so it's pretty important I keep that box running.
Should I try the most recent 2.2.19-pre?
The machine is a pentium-MMX with 64 MB RAM with a kernel 2.2.18 that has these patches/updated drivers (none VM related AFAICS):
IDE 2.2.18.1209 I²C 2.5.4 LM_Sensors 2.5.4 DC390 2.0e7 ReiserFS 3.5.28
