I'm posting this for posterity. I've asked the user to upgrade to 2.6.16.1-bs1 for now. He's hit this twice in the last month...

Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".

I mount a tmpfs directory exclusively for each UML the same size as the mem= parameter. Something fishy is going on with this particular host, now that I look at the other UML console, a number of them have hit this...

# uname -a
Linux host20.linode.com 2.6.11-rc4-1-bigmem64 #2 SMP Sun Feb 20 04:57:53 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@host20 root]# uptime
 20:24:54  up 392 days, 57 min,  4 users,  load average: 0.46, 0.56, 0.66

I just noticed one of the drives is failing which has a swap partition on it. That probably explains it. I'll remove that from the equation.

Thanks,
-Chris
