It has fixes. Hello Andrew, mm3 did not fix the problem. I still get a blank framebuffer console. I still get these two errors: allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc= to increase size. nvidiafb: cannot ioremap FB base Also, I still get the /sys listing Oops when listing the i2c entries for the nvidiafb. Lastly, I get the Oops that halts booting if I include certain other i2c drivers in the build. Removing nvidiafb from the build allows me to get a completely usable build of 2.6.12-rc1-mm3. I haven't heard anything from the author of the nvidiafb driver about the various issues I have reported.
