Subject: Re: Problems with 2.6.17-rt8

I am sad.

Okay, I couldn't use that same machine, which had to be swapped with
something else,  but I have a very similar machine (32GB vs 8GB of
RAM, 1 additional video card and some extra 1394b cards) which hit the
same problem.  The trace from it is:

which makes:

   <ffffffff802792f9>{kmem_cache_alloc+207}

the interesting part?
