[SOLVED] how to increase vmalloc size ?
Hi,
I am using linux-2.6.24.2 source and i have included my atm driver as module in it.when i load the kernel image and insmod my module,i am getting this message and crashed .
"
allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size. "
I tried by increasing the vmalloc size in kernel options, but that dint help well.
I have attached the memory information before and after loading the module.

What distribution and what platform/architecture are you using? Is this for an x86 processor, or other?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
