I pushed out 3.0.0 kernels yesterday afternoon - it would be great if they could get some testing before pointing Latest to them!
Looks like kernel reserved memory is back down to saner levels for 64 bit (32 bit was corrected in 2.6.39.1).
Thanks!

| Seems to be working fine thus far on my ubuntu 10.04 node & a debian 6 node as well though debian one isn't doing much of anything besides nginx currently |

It does appear to solve the reserved memory problem introduced in 2.6.39.
However, I did notice that the 3.0.0-x86_64-linode20 kernel appears to somehow break the console (Lish) on my Debian squeeze (6) machine:
The end of the output looks like this (no login prompt):
Code:
Loading kernel modules...done.
Activating lvm and md swap...done.
Checking file systems...fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
done.
Mounting local filesystems...done.
Activating swapfile swap...done.
Cleaning up temporary files....
Configuring network interfaces...done.
Cleaning up temporary files....
Setting kernel variables ...done.
Skip starting firewall: ufw (not enabled)...done.
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
Using makefile-style concurrent boot in runlevel 2.
Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogd.
Starting domain name service...: bind9.
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
Starting dictionary server: dictd.
Starting nginx: nginx.
Starting NTP server: ntpd.
Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfixsshd (1720): /proc/1720/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/1720/oom_score_adj instead.
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
.
Reverting back to Latest paravirt (2.6.39.1-x86_64-linode19) fixes the console again.
I have not looked into this further, I suppose it's something in Debian that breaks with a 3.0 kernel... |

A fix for this was deployed this afternoon. Give it another shot.

I am giving this a go now.
On my Linode 768 it's showing 740mb of total ram - which means the kernel hogging has reduced (a good thing) - Everything seems to be working well. |

Don't you think that an interesting feedback like this could be more interesting if you tell us also what distro are you running? |

Working for me so far on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit.
My total memory went down from:
MemTotal: 502008 kB
to
MemTotal: 500452 kB
It's not a significant difference anyway. |
