Quite simply, don't have such big modules. Really. If you're filling 14MB you're doing something very wrong. > I've tried to increase by changing as below, > could you please let us know if it would cause any regressions in any > of the application or scenario ? You're increasing the chances that the module text won't be able to reach the kernel text, and so relocations will fail. 18MB should work fine provided your kernel is no larger than 14MB. But seriously, do something about your huge modules. Filling 14MB is just insane. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
