I've tried 2.4.19rc1aa2, it swaps even when I have 512MB ram and xcdroast with
scsi-ide emulation cd writer reports to syslog:
Jul 9 12:45:02 hell kernel: __alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed
(gfp=0x20/0)
Jul 9 12:45:02 hell kernel: __alloc_pages: 3-order allocation failed
(gfp=0x20/0)
Jul 9 12:45:02 hell kernel: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed
(gfp=0x20/0)
Jul 9 12:45:02 hell kernel: __alloc_pages: 1-order allocation failed
(gfp=0x20/0)
Jul 9 12:45:02 hell kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed
(gfp=0x20/0)

Am I something missing?
