Re: Kernel BUG at page_alloc.c:117!

[zine el abidine Hamid]

Hello Dirk,
 
 First, thank you for responding so fast.
 I have to use the kernel 2.4.18 (or at best the
2.4.22). 
 I want first understand what's appened; Is-it a
kernel
 problem or is-it a bug off our application which is
written in C++.
 It seems like there a bug with the VM; is it true?
And
 what is exactly the problem? Is it a hardware
problem?(Need I to add RAM or change Hard dirve?)
 
 Zine.
