I'd think that you ran out of ram. A machines processing a large image on 512

There needs to be more info to help resolve this issue. Try downloading the

How can I do that?

hmm, is this actually the output of the demsg command or did you just
paste /var/log/dmesg (note they are significantly different, the file in
/var only contains a boot snapshot of dmesg adn isnt useful for info

Ok, I'll try to do that, but I have a memory indicator on the panel, and

what you are doing is a pretty huge task for a 512M device that runs a

here, can you try to reproduce the crash and attach the full output of
the dmesg command to this bug ? i bet there will be a bunch of OOM
messages.
