| |
I'm running kernel version 2.1.130 on a Dual PPro. Everything has worked beautifully until today, when I got this while trying to format a floppy :
yoda:/tmp# mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0 mkfs.msdos 0.4, 27th February 1997 for MS-DOS/FAT/FAT32 FS DMA memory shortage. Temporarily falling back on virtual DMA mkfs.msdos: unable to open /dev/fd0
I have 320 MB of memory, so this is very odd.
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 322052 321000 1052 16392 172216 116576 -/+ buffers/cache: 32208 289844 Swap: 0 0 0
I have no I/O processes running, just two highly CPU intensive tasks, but they have priority 20.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks, Nick
