Run `grep inode /proc/slabinfo' and `cat /proc/meminfo'. You're probably running into the problem wherein all of lowmem is full of inodes which are pinned by highmem pagecache.
If so then this: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.19rc5aa1/10_inode-highmem-2 will fix it.
Please test it and send a report. It's time to get that into Marcelo. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
