it took a while to find a date for a reboot...  Unfortunately
it was not possible to get the early boot messages with the
kernel 2.6.32.23 since the compiled in log buffer is too
small.  So we installed as you suggested a more recent kernel
2.6.32.29 with a bigger log buffer, I attach the dmesg
of that, and hope that the information in there is useful.
We will keep an eye on that server with the newer kernel
to see if the allocation failures appear again.

Best regards,

   Peter
