I'll have to try to get the messages off tommorrow... but I did get the other two for now. I did try 'vmalloc=nnnM' as you mentioned but perhaps I didn't put it high enough. I set it at 192M. BTW.. the 1600s are not in the box at the moment as I needed to get it running for company coming tommorrow. If you need me to pop it back in and resend the logs I can do that. Thanks for any help.

Please provide the segment of /var/log/messages from bootup to failure. Also provide the output of $ cat /proc/meminfo $ cat /proc/interrupts I suspect you'll have to add a 'vmalloc=nnnM' kernel commandline option that is about 128 MB greater than the VmallocTotal reported by /proc/meminfo. The cx18 wants a single, contiguous 64 MB chunk of vmalloc addresses for PCI IO mappings (not real system memory) and I suspect the Nvidia graphics driver also wants a large contiguous chunk of vmalloc addresses for PCI/AGP graphics IO mappings. Between the two, I suspect you're running out of large chunks of vmalloc addresses. Another old problem that could be the case is that the nvidia graphics card and cx18 are sharing an interrupt. There was a problem that came up in the past with the VIA(? maybe it was NVidia?) linux DRM (direct rendering manager) driver stimulating interrupts but not claiming them. The kernel shuts off the "offending" interrupt in this case. Let's see what your logs say... Regards, Andy > Thanks! > > Ben
