[Re-produce steps]
 
1. Installed RedHat 7.1.

2. Installed WebBenchV3.0. 

3. Runnig WebBenchV3.0.

4. The Server appear "Kernel BUG at page_alloc.c c:188!"
    a. Sometime the Server can complete the test but got the unacceptable 
result.
    b. Sometime the Server hung (cannot complete test)

   
[Verification]
1. Change platform 
   ==> Failed
   (Runnig NetBench V7.01 but the Server also got " Kernel BUG at 
page_alloc.c c:240!")

2. Change the test configuration from Dual CPU to Single CPU ==> Passed.
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-06-25 21:48:18 UTC 
1) is this kernel 2.4.2-2, 2.4.3-6 or 2.4.3-12
2) is this with TUX or Apache ?
Comment 2 Bryan Leopard 2001-06-27 14:55:28 UTC 
Q1: RedHat 7.1 Kernel: 2.4.2-2 
Q2: Using Apache.
Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-06-28 08:44:51 UTC 
The interesting question would be if the errata kernel 2.4.3-12 would fix the
problem.

Another question is if TUX would make the numbers fly again....
