I found the problem while transitioning to a 64bit machine
The problem seems to exist for physical memory *exceeding
504MB*because that is the precise limit which tips
*VMALLOC_START *with MSB being 1
That would be a problem for 64bit machines since in symbol relocation
function, namely *apply_relocate_add *in arch/x86/kernel/module.c:249,
evaluating *R_X86_64_32S *sign extends 64bit values
The root of the problem though, is that *VMALLOC_START * start is too big
to begin with since *START *is too big in *Makefile-x86_64 *
*
*
Changing to a smaller value, like say 0x8048000 used for i386 machines
seems to do the trick
Any reason it was 0x60000000 ??
