Are there any resource limitations when using multiple 10Gbit Ethernet adapters with 32bit installations?
Issue
After installing 10Gbit ethernet controllers, e.g. Intel 82599, in a system, the 32bit kernel panics during boot with OOM messages similar to:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...
Pid: 234, comm: kacpid Not tainted 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.i686 #1
Call Trace:
[<c0821fde>] ? panic+0x42/0xf9
[<c04dfeea>] ? __out_of_memory+0x8a/0x90
[<c04dff45>] ? out_of_memory+0x55/0xb0
Environment
