Here is the right one -
2.6.24-rc5 is without patch, 2.6.24-rc5-new is with patch.

DMI present.
-dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory.
-dmi_string: out of memory.

ok. I guess absent a real regression/bug reported by someone who gets
these messages, we can do your patches in 2.6.25. DMI stuff is quite
hardware dependent so it's hard to get the code tested well.
