Package: redhat-cluster-modules-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64
Version: 2.6.26+2.20080801-3
Severity: important

PROBLEM:

GFS (gfs.ko) module is not loadable.

# modprobe gfs
FATAL: Error inserting gfs (/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64/extra/redhat-cluster/gfs/gfs.ko): Cannot allocate memory

GFS (gfs.ko) problem exists either when OpenVZ modules are loaded (vz*) or not.
GFS2 (kfs2.ko) can be loaded, but it has no impact on gfs.ko behaviour.

Does it also happen with a non-openvz image?
