That applies to IBM/RHEL too. They aren't paying for every bit of software that is packaged in the distribution. So they can't use that argument against others. Also people who are currently not paying are not going to suddenly start paying for RHEL subscriptions. A non-paying CentOS user is not a real loss for RHEL. But people dumping CentOS for a non-RHEL clone is definitely going to impact their future revenues as they are losing mindshare/goodwill/easy migration etc. Regards, Kingsly -- --- Kingsly At Users Dot SourceForge Dot Net -- http://kingsly.org/ --- pgp176GAA2FEd.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-4 Xen kernel with low RAM and Badness in local_bh_enable at kernel/softirq.c:141
Sorry about the multiple mails that came through to the list. I'd been trying to send them out for over 20 hours and they wouldn't relay through a openvpn tunnel because of the Badness. I had moved the queue manually and forgot to remove the mail that went through.

And the mail never gets out and the the connection times out. All test mails (one liners) went out without any problems via the VPN. After sending one mail by-passing the VPN, i went ahead and switched the kernel.. and now all my mails are relaying.

[CentOS] CentOS-4 Xen kernel with low RAM and Badness in local_bh_enable at kernel/softirq.c:141
I have small xen VM running centos4 which acts as a router/firewall, and has been working fine for over 1.5 years with 32MB of RAM and a kernel I either got from xensource.org or built myself from their sources. (centos 4 didn't have a xen kernel back then) I lost the kernel to a corrupted disk and decided to use the centos provided xen kernel. All these months 32MB + 64MB Swap was more than sufficient and I never had any problems.(3-digit uptimes) The CentOS Xen kernel is unusable at 32MB and invokes the OOM killer even though there is plenty of swap free (and about 5-10MB of RAM too). After the OOM killer has done it's job there's about 15MB of RAM free and swap is hardly used at all (1MB at most) I've increased RAM to 64MB and the OOM killer doesn't kick in.. but I am seeing plenty of such messages in the logs ...
