Comment 4 for bug 553948

I can see the __alloc_pages_slowpath error on a Thinkpad R61e running kernel 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP.
I haven't tested any mainline build yet.

The stack trace is as below.

I have seen a different but probably related error on the previous kernel (2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu) :
