Can you please provide some more details? Is this during the installation
that you ran into OOM? If so, are you using the X installation method?
If the problem is on the installed kernel, can you indicate what you
were running to induce the problem? Thanks.
FWIW, I've been running fairly stressful tests on a 64MB system for > 24 hrs
without problems ...
cheers,
