Hi, ?I am trying to allocate 512MB of RAM in my driver loaded as a module, but the OOM killer starts killing all my processes. This machine has around 24GB RAM and is a 8 core Xeon. The RAM is allocated in page size chunks (i.e. 131072 chunks each of size PAGE_SIZE). I am using a 32 bit kernel with PAE enabled. The allocation works fine on a machine with 8GB of RAM. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies at kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
