Attempted to ssh into a newly-installed Gentoo box this morning. I was able to get as far as being prompted to accept its public key, but never retrieved a login prompt. System was pingable. I was not physically there, so I had the machine rebooted. I discovered several logs of "swapper: page allocation failure. order:1, mode:0x20" in /var/log/messages. I have attached portions of /var/log/messages so you can see both the bootup messages and this one, with the call trace. This is a 2.6.5 kernel built straight from gentoo-dev-sources. I have also attached my .config file. The system is a Compaq 8000Z with an Amd64 3200+ CPU and the nForce3 motherboard. The system was up for approximately 15 hours before the crash. To my knowledge, it was idle at the time of the crash. Before the problem, it had been running OK (it emerged xfree, for instance.) Additionally, I have run a 32-bit kernel with the forcedeth module on this machine for some time without any problem (stock 2.6.4 kernel). Therefore, the problem may lie in the 64-bit kernel, or in changes made between 2.6.4 and 2.6.5, or in Gentoo's patches. Unfortunately, I did not have physical access to the machine at the time of the incidents, so I cannot report what was on the console. My guess is that this was some sort of kernel oops that took down the networking layer (or at least hindered it).

Can you verify that this is still a problem with the 2.6.7-r2 gentoo-dev-sources package?
Please retest with the latest gentoo-dev-sources (currently 2.6.8-r3) and reopen this bug if the problem still exists. Thanks.
