Well, I'm no coder and therefore follow instructions to the letter, almost (; <-- ehum), which meant that "put back" became lines 613-615 in mm/page_alloc.c might_sleep_if(wait); if (wait) cond_resched(); Now interpreting it as the lines should be might_sleep_if(wait); /* the kernel boots without problems. Have yet to test the oom-killer with my rogue app. Won't return unless there's problems. Mvh Mats Johannesson
