I dont know what it is but i think it's causing all sorts of problems :(
System info:
AMD XP 2000+
MSI K7T Turbo2
MSI GeForce4mx-440

i thought there were some page_aloc.c pages with the 3xxx series so maybe it's
time for one for the 4191 ? :)
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-31 14:47:52 UTC
Maybe.  4191 already have the page-alloc patch applied.  It could also be
a kernel issue.  Try to use a vanilla kernel, and see what happens.  BTW,
how frequent does this happen ?
Comment 2 Lesley van Zijl 2002-12-31 15:09:21 UTC
this was the first time, I just compiled a new kernel (lolo-sources 2.4.20 -r1 pre8) and the new nvidia drivers (because the old didn't work with lolo-sources)  in the following thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=27890 i already seek help for my really unstable system after a CPU upgrade.  Because i became very sick of the unstable system i tried several things at once  (older mobo bios, newer kernel newer nvidia drivers) no kernel panics but now this .. so i though the little animal got a name and the nvidia drivers where to blame for all of it all along.  I'll use the vanilla kernel for some time and see what happens :/ 
Comment 3 Lesley van Zijl 2003-01-01 10:52:32 UTC
Didn't happen again with vanilla-sources
But i think i'll swith back to the nvidia 3XXX because performance of
4191 is really bad and I can't swtich to a console because I get a 
'out of range' from my monitor :(
Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-02 13:59:33 UTC
Still using vanilla, or does latest lolo-sources/gentoo-sources fix this ?
Comment 5 Lesley van Zijl 2003-02-02 14:12:46 UTC
I'm using Linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r1  atm, but with Nvidia 3XXX because I get 
an "out of sync" from my monitor when i want to switch to a console (alt FX) 
 
and 4191 gave me bad 2d performance :) 
so I quess you can close the bug report 
Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-03 16:42:47 UTC
Sure you have the refresh rates for you monitor set correctly ?
Comment 7 Lesley van Zijl 2003-02-03 16:46:46 UTC
both Horizontal and vertical directly from the IBM site :) 
I got it once yesterday, but that was under heavy load and was fixed within 
5 seconds :/

From the 4191 Readme:

/--

Turning on RenderAccel might help your 2D performance issues.

If this is still an issue with 1.0.4363, reopen.
