    Hi,

    I was running a very demanding (in terms of memory) application on
    linux 2.4.20-8smp kernel. It is a dual processor system. After running
    for 2 days, the system became unresponsive. I had to hard reboot the
    system. The following message was displayed on the terminal and also in
    /var/log/messages :

    Dec 28 15:28:10 guiserver kernel: [drm:i830_wait_ring] *ERROR* space:
    116112 wanted 131064
    Dec 28 15:28:10 guiserver kernel: [drm:i830_wait_ring] *ERROR* lockup
    what is the problem and how to recover from such a situation?

    TIA,
