My 486 has neither PCI nor USB, the disk is attached to a plain ancient IDE port.

If it is, I don't think it's ARM-specific. The last two years I've done a lot of work with 2.6 kernels on a DS101 ARM box. It's similar to the NSLU2 except it has 64MB of RAM and a built-in PCI PATA controller. I've stressed it quite a bit, but never seen the OOM killer trigger on it.
So you using USB storage might be relevant. - 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/
