modprobe nvidia - cannot allocate memory

[lory]

i build the nvidia driver x86 190.53 with the live cd RC2, used kernelsources 2.6.29.6-smp and the
addons from http://enialis.net/~jrd/salix/
First i started NVidia*.pkg1.run and everything was fine.

I made a module for the live cd but now when i use "modprobe nvidia"
i get the error: "cannot allocate memory".
Maybe conflicts with other modules? Any ideas? Thanks!

solution:

i changed option vmalloc size from default 128M in lilo config to "vmalloc=256M"
- it works fine

Cool, thanks for sharing the solution!

i put the x86 190.53 on my server. If anybody wants Live-CD with NVidia, just plug it into your /base
directory of the Live-CD and make_iso.sh.

Load module via "modprobe nvidia" or at startup.
It should also work converting the lzm to txz and use it with Salix 13.x kernel 2.6.29.6-smp

and do not forget to start with option "vmalloc=256M" Live-CD

Thanks !
I will try to include the "vmalloc=256M" option for the final version if it does not make problems in other cases
