insmod not working with initramfs

[cjjoy]

Hi,
I am trying to boot a MIPS based embedded board.
I am able to NFS boot the kernel and rootfile system through
tftp.
I have now created the initramfs of the same rootfile system,
after little hickups I was able to boot the board.
But when I try to insmode a module I am getting the following
error:

insmod: error inserting 'linux-kernel-bcm.ko': -1 Cannot allocate memory
Unable to load Module : linux-kernel-bcm.ko. Error Code 1

The dmesg shows:
'linux-kernel-bcm.ko : No more DMA blocks
'linux-kernel-bcm.ko': No Dma memory available


The insmode works with the NFS version of the same rootfs and kernel.


On googling I found this error is due to kernel version mismatch.
But I am using the same kernel used for NFS booting.

Please let me know where I am wrong?

Check if there's something missing in your initramfs compare to the NFS file system. If there are some modules unloaded in the kernel start time, especially something related to the DMA function.
