I have looked through the Linux boards and have seen that the error I am
receiving is a known problem in 2.1 and 2.2 kernels. There is a problem
in the VM. There is a patch available but I have no idea how to apply
the patch. Anyone else seen this? Any work arounds?
Also, Since everything is run from Ramdisk, how can changes made on the
platform be saved?

Subject: First Try Failures
I am investigating use of PeeWeeLinux and have run into a couple of
problems:
1) I have used the minimal config as a base and added all of X packages.
However, on boot, I get a message "VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for
swapper.". Any ideas?
2) When I choose full kernel then the system does not build.
I am basically trying to create a basic build with X support and
Netscape, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bill Wimsatt
