vanilla pIII - dsl toram fails
«

I have successfully run DSL 4.1.10 from CD on
Pentium III 600MHz
512MB Ram
ASUS motherboard
Everything seemed to work, but it seemed a bit slow so I tried
boot: dsl toram
It spews messages like
_alloc_pages: 0 order allocation failed - killing process bash
then dies with a message
"respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes" and also "no more processes at this runlevel"
5 minutes pass, same thing happens.
Is this my system or a known bug?
Can I provide info that will help developers?
Thanks,
Rob

Follow up - resolved
The system did not have 512 MB ram, it had 64MB. Embarrasing, yes!
When I added another 256MB I was able to use the toram boot option.
