Good point. However, why is it failing? According to the dump, there are 28 8k pages available.

From doing more testing yesterday, I found that this error is also coming up from the SATA driver as well (sil24). Again with those errors, it fails allocating a page of order 0, when there are a few hundred of those available. What is up with the VMM? Why are pages failing to allocate when they are available?

Thanks,

Jonathan
