Hello,
I have Debian Linux with precompiled kernel 2.4.25. My box is with IDE RIDE (Highpoint)
The heaviest process, that I have is squid-cache. Its cache is about 1.7 GB and cause good CPU and memory load.
The problem is that I start to receive the fallowing error in my logs:

__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)
__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)
__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)
__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)
__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)
__alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed (gfp=0x20/0)

I read some posts for this error for kernel up to 2.4.11, but I haven't SCSI nor USB. I can't understand what cause this error.

I dont't know if I have some phisical problem with my memory or disks.

I'm not in list so please answer me directly.
