either.

Problem Description:
When trying to load the iptables service I get the following error:

Feb  2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team
Feb  2 16:05:56 alphacrow kernel: Could not allocate 60 bytes percpu data

Occurs on both the 2.6.9 kernel shipped with CentOS 4.2 and also the official
2.6.15.2 kernel I built.

 Odd.  Not sure what the Could not allocate 60 bytes percpu data is
 due to, either.

As the user indicates this problem goes all the way back to 2.6.9, I
really think it's likely some Alpha specific problem wrt. percpu
allocations.

Some Alpha expert should look into this from that angle.
