[coLinux-devel] 0.5.3pre2: klog, dpkg utils errored while configed

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

Before I hunt down the issue any further, I'll posted the messages I =
received when I tried to run dselect configuration.   When I selected =
the configure option, a random appearance of an error occurred.  Seems =
like it happened within the perl utilities.

__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process $PROCNAME

such that $PROCNAME is an element of { su, http, mandb, dpkg, =
dpkg-preconfigu, klogd }

My attempt to configure the system with 0.5.3pre2 worked better than the =
0.5.2 version, as I did not get all the configuration screens with =
0.5.2.   I do not remember such messages as the __alloc_pages.

Further, I untarred and cvs'ed the colinux and linux sources without =
problems.  I compiled binutils, yet that did not finish because it could =
not find the "no" utility. =20
