Subjectthree days running fine, then memory allocation errors
Date
Hello,

I hope you guys can help, I cannot use any kernel 2.4 >23 without
the here described problem.

Searching the web for solutions to my problem I have already found
a thread in a mailing list but no solution was mentioned, also the
guys who talked about the error didn't answer to my direct mail.

The machine is a two xeon cpu database server without any other service
except sshd running. I do some tests on the ICP-Vortex GDT controller
every 2 minutes by using
# cat /proc/scsi/gdt/2
but the output of cat stops without beeing completed.

This is what I see in the syslog file every time when I use the cat
command (the messages beginn after 3 days uptime):
--> /var/log/messages
kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x21/0)

What do you propose to do for I can get the information I need for
longer than three days without reboot? This is a highly used database
server in production environment.

Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.27 (root@widbrz01) (gcc version 3.3.1
