Hi,
With the latest set of updates within FC7, I are now seeing this messageon several systems.udevd[581]: udev_event_run: fork of child failed: cannot allocate memoryThe message occurs at boot just after udev starts. The message isrepeatedly constantly and there does not appear to be any way out.Control-C doesn't do anything. The message keeps repeating without anyend.We have seen this on different H/W platforms. One is a dell laptop.One is an server with dual Xeon with 4 gig RAM. RAM tests on all theH/W checkouts OK. All H/W was running FC7 OK before. All systems arerunning the latest kernel with all the lastest updates.This seems to have started in the last couple of days or so. I can'tseem to find any way around it.Is anyone else encountering the same problem? Any ideas how to trackdown the cause? Any ideas on how to fix it or get around it to thesystems up?Thanks,
Bruce

Hmm, first report. Haven't seen anything like that from other users. Wasthere a kernel update in the last days?
