I'm running a 128MB Pentium-2,233MHz as a Usenet news server running
INN-2.2.2 using cyclic buffers. I've gotten the following curriosities
in my dmesg:

VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for expireindex...
(several times)

and

eth0: Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 82557, 00:90:27:16:53:48, IRQ 11.
  Board assembly 689661-004, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
  Forcing 100Mbs full-duplex operation.
  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x24c9f043).
  Receiver lock-up workaround activated.

This is attached to a CISCO switch also forced to 100MB/S-Full Duplex.

...just thought someone might be interested. The machine seems to be
working fine.
