Hi! I have an old SS5 with 128 MB memory. Sometimes, the kernel seems to have some memory problems: Mar 24 07:03:05 ferdi kernel: bitmap out: size 8800 used 6242 off 1248 len 16 align 16 count 8816 Mar 24 07:03:05 ferdi kernel: srmmu: out of nocache 4096: 2252800/1597952 Mar 24 07:03:05 ferdi kernel: VM: killing process sendmail
Here is an actual memory overview: ferdi:~# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 125256 kB MemFree: 6744 kB Buffers: 17836 kB Cached: 51156 kB SwapCached: 13556 kB Active: 73420 kB Inactive: 33572 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 125256 kB LowFree: 6744 kB SwapTotal: 249652 kB SwapFree: 228840 kB Dirty: 188 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 40640 kB Slab: 7736 kB Committed_AS: 141536 kB PageTables: 856 kB VmallocTotal: 25600 kB VmallocUsed: 500 kB VmallocChunk: 25060 kB These problems are reproducible under high load (e. g. updating spamassassins bayes-database while receiving a lot of mails). What can I do to fix this behaviour? Are 128 MB memory not enough? My x86-bases systems have no problems with less memory... regards, Jörg
