Hi All,

I have an ARM PXA-255 board with an LCD support. I have ported kernel
2.6.26.3 on it and am trying to make frame buffer driver up for my board. I
m able to able to  get the backlight on tho LCD panel. In pxafb.c file, the
function pxafb_probe is calling pxafb_init_fbinfo function. This
pxafb_init_fbinfo is then allocating some memory by calling kmalloc. The
kmalloc fails here and my kernel hangs.

I am able to able to figure out the problem as kmalloc as returning a valid
address to the variable fbi.  I also tried with GFP_ATOMIC flag in kmalloc
but still the problem exists.
Any help to solve this problem will be highly appreciated.
