[ILUG] do_try_to_free_pages failed message

[gerodonoghue at sigma-sl.ie]

Hi all

Have a linux machine running as a gateway/firewall for about a week.
got VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed messages scrolling on the console
this morning.
These messages started on Saturday (from logs).
System is running Redhat 6.1 with 2.2.16 kernel
Swap file size is 250MB
Memory is 128MB
Pentium 500 processor.
 From what I have read it seems that upgrading to 2.2.17pre9 kernel will
solve the problem.
Has anyone done this and found that it cured the problem?
Or has anyone seen this problem before.

Regards Ger
