[Kernel-packages] [Bug 342926] Re: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB
Christopher, please leave the bug status as it is now. I was the original reporter *and* member of the Ubuntu Kernel team and I created this bug specifically to track the issue against the mainline kernel. There is no work to be done nor data collection required against Ubuntu, as I have previously described. Any updates should be posted to the linked mainline Linux bug-tracker. ** Tags removed: needs-kernel-logs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342926 Title: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-180 This can affect almost all releases (6.10 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04+) It usually only shows up dramatically with video cards that have large memory (e.g. 256MB) and on systems that a) have 3GB or more RAM and/or b) have 64-bit CPUs on 32-bit north-bridge chipsets (e.g. Intel 945) Typical symptom: failed to load the nvidia kernel module This issue could affect all versions of the Nvidia proprietary drivers and others.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 342926] Re: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB
I did some work upstream but it became too complicated. Others have also tried but nothing has changed. In the meantime the hardware out there that has a 32-bit limit imposed by its southbridge on 64-bit CPUs is all now old legacy gear so I don't foresee the kernel fixing this, ever. It still remains a problem for the hardware out there still in use where the user wants to install and use the maximum RAM possible but the 32-bit limitation prevents the PCIOMEM addresses being remapped above the 4GB boundary. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342926 Title: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-180 This can affect almost all releases (6.10 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04+) It usually only shows up dramatically with video cards that have large memory (e.g. 256MB) and on systems that a) have 3GB or more RAM and/or b) have 64-bit CPUs on 32-bit north-bridge chipsets (e.g. Intel 945) Typical symptom: failed to load the nvidia kernel module This issue could affect all versions of the Nvidia proprietary drivers and others.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 342926] Re: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB
TJ, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete ** Attachment removed: Slackware64 13.1 dmesg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/342926/+attachment/1441863/+files/dmesg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342926 Title: No PCI IOMEM space available below 4GB Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-180 This can affect almost all releases (6.10 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04+) It usually only shows up dramatically with video cards that have large memory (e.g. 256MB) and on systems that a) have 3GB or more RAM and/or b) have 64-bit CPUs on 32-bit north-bridge chipsets (e.g. Intel 945) Typical symptom: failed to load the nvidia kernel module This issue could affect all versions of the Nvidia proprietary drivers and others. Recently I've seen several users in IRC #ubuntu asking for help but without solving the issue. When I saw Keith Dewitt asking the same question on 2009-03-14 I arranged with him to access his system via SSH and a multiuser screen session to diagnose the issue. Keith was very patient and supportive and his assistance led directly to this discovery. There are also threads on the nvidia forums with the same issues. The symptoms are that users report that systems with Nvidia-based graphics cards won't start the X server successfully. There are a wide range of reports that don't immediately pin-point the cause. The fact the nvidia kernel module failed to load is the biggest clue. Check dmesg and /var/log/kern.log for something along these lines: [ 20.137717] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
