Re: Two problems with a new installation

["James Carrier" <james.carrier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dave

I can't comment on your specific problem, but have you upgraded the
MegaRAID's firmware to the latest version available from AMI's web site? I
had many many problems installing both a clean 7.1 system and an XFS 7.1
system until I traced back to the Mega's firmware. Earlier versions of the
code are seriously screwed!

Just my 0.02 :-)

I installed XFS 1.0 + Red Hat 7.1 via the SGI installer on a 2-proc
Dell server with 2 x 250GB AMI MegaRAID's. The installation went
smoothly, but I've been getting occasional messages like:

May 17 03:39:08 daacsnfs kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed.
May 17 03:39:08 daacsnfs kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed.
May 17 03:42:52 daacsnfs kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed.

What do these messages mean?
