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

Jonathan,

I belive from what I have discussed with Dan that that is a standard "out of
memory" condition. Have you setup swap space?

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=0x1d2/0)
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.
