Re: ETH over USB: NFS state (seeking ARM platform for NFS-based builds)

Hi,

2011/6/5 Karel Gardas [off-list ref]:

Hello,

while searching for ARMv7/NEON platform for my own hacking I've found this
interesting issue:

[ 2945.114135] cc1: page allocation failure. order:3, mode:0x4020

Maybe the patch below can fix the issue, please try it:
