Which kernel do you use ? Is it the latest 2.2.17 :
kernel-2.2.17-1mdk.i586.rpm ?
Having a look into /var/log, I don't have any message like "VM:
do_try_to_free_pages failed for"
since the 1st September.
For me, memory management is OK in current kernel, but as I have 384 MB,
swapping does not occur often (if never).
I just tried to force the kernel to swap (jbuilder + netscape x 10 +
huge images + staroffice + etc.) and it
did not collapse, and I got no VM messages in log files.
As I did not stress my machine between late august and the 1st
september, I think there has been an improvement between
kernel-2.2.17-0xxmdk and kernel-2.2.17-1mdk.i586.rpm, making VM messages
disappear.
