Hello all,

can anybody enlighten me about the following kernel-message:

Aug 21 14:37:39 admin kernel: __alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed.
Aug 21 14:37:39 admin kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed.

Aug 21 14:37:39 admin last message repeated 69 times

I get tons of them during verifying burned CDs with xcdroast (which takes a really long time, and must have some problem therefore).
I would not worry you if it didn't work with earlier kernel-versions, but in fact it did.
