Re: PROBLEM: oom killer and swap weirdness on 2.6.3* kernels

[dave b]

That was just a simple test case with dd. That test case might be
invalid - but it is trying to trigger out of memory - doing this any
other way still causes the problem. I note that playing with some bios
settings I was actually able to trigger what appeared to be graphics
corruption issues when I launched kde applications ... nothing shows
up in dmesg so this might just be a conflict between xorg and the
kernel with those bios settings...

Anyway, This is no longer a 'problem' for me since I disabled
overcommit and altered the values for dirty_ratio and
dirty_background_ratio - and I cannot trigger it.
