This still hasn’t gone away with nvidia-current 256.44-0ubuntu1, nor 256.52-0ubuntu0sarvatt (from xorg-edgers). I can’t use the nvidia driver unless I boot into kernel 2.6.32.

I have the same problem, and I have tried for 2 days to get it working - I'm also using Geforce GT 230m. Does anyone have a clue on this? It seems like we have a whole series og nvidia laptops that can't currently use Ubuntu. When you install ubuntu on a laptop with that this videocard you run into not only one newbie killer but 2:
1. Blank screen because of the nouveau-kms module.
2. If you get past that and install the propriatary drivers to get 3D acceleration you run into a kernel oops.
I'm not a hardware-guy so I'm pretty lost when it comes to fix this.

BTW I had my laptop running with some tweaks on Lucid.

Well, I reported the oops to the NVIDIA Linux forum <http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=155728> with a log generated by nvidia-bug-report.sh as requested, but I haven’t gotten a response. If you’re seeing the same problem, perhaps replying to that thread would be helpful.

I uninstalled the 260.19.06 driver by doing an apt-get remove nvidia-* --purge.

Version 260.19.12

Then I tried the newest drivers from Nvidia by downloading 260.19.12 from their site. I tried to start X and got the following error (Xorg.log,kern.log):

I uninstalled the 260.19.06 driver by doing an apt-get remove nvidia-* --purge.

Version 260.19.12
===============

Then I tried the newest drivers from Nvidia by downloading 260.19.12 from their site. I tried to start X and got the following error (Xorg.log,kern.log):

First I installed the 260.19.06 drivers via jockey, restarted my system and got the following kernel oops:

Just for the record, here are my results from testing nvidia's drivers 260.19.06 and 260.19.12:

Version 260.19.06
===============

First I installed the 260.19.06 drivers via jockey, restarted my system and got the following kernel oops:

I uninstalled the 260.19.06 driver by doing an apt-get remove nvidia-* --purge.

Version 260.19.12
===============

Then I tried the newest drivers from Nvidia by downloading 260.19.12 from their site. I tried to start X and got the following error (Xorg.log,kern.log):

kern.log_260.19.06 Edit (5.1 KiB, text/plain)

Just for the record, here are my results from testing nvidia's drivers 260.19.06 and 260.19.12:

Version 260.19.06
===============

First I installed the 260.19.06 drivers via jockey, restarted my system and got the following kernel oops: (see attachments: kern.log_260.19.06)

I uninstalled the 260.19.06 driver by doing an apt-get remove nvidia-* --purge.

Version 260.19.12
===============

Then I tried the newest drivers from Nvidia by downloading 260.19.12 from their site. I tried to start X and got the following error: (see attachments: messages_260.19.12,kern.log_260.19.12, nvidia-bug-report.log_260.19.12):

jsgaarde: It looks like your problem is different. You’re getting

[ 48.011528] vmap allocation for size 16781312 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
[ 48.014897] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffffffff:1028)

which is a known issue:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.12/README/knownissues.html#kva_exhaustion

Try one of the solutions listed in that documtation, and if that doesn’t work, you should file a new bug report. This report is about a crash in the kernel module (BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa111b68d).

kern.log Edit (92.7 KiB, text/plain)

Thanks for your feedback Anders. I tried to raise to vmalloc 256MB which made the kernel virtual address space exhaustion error go away - unfortunately it brought the kernel oops back :-( So the kernel oops had only been absent because the driver never got loaded completely...

I attached the kern.log file for the record.

That’s indeed a kernel oops, though it is a NULL dereference rather than a page fault. Unfortunately your Call Trace got cut off so it’s difficult to say whether it’s related. Did you hard-reboot immediately after the crash? Next time, wait a few seconds and press Alt-SysRq-s to give the kernel a chance to sync its filesystems to disk [1] before rebooting.

Is it still an issue with the final release of maverick ?

Yes it is, I have only tried with the release version. It is also still an issue with the latest kernel update that came a few days ago.

Nevermind my previous comment. I tried installing nvidia's newest driver 260.19.36. It worked perfectly!

I am still encountering the 'BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0e364f1' oops with maverick kernel 2.6.35-25-generic and the latest NVIDIA driver 260.19.36.

Upgraded to NVIDIA driver 270.18 from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and still encountering the kernel oops. This bug is incredibly frustrating, all I have been able to do is reboot until the NVIDIA module loads. Sometimes I have to reboot my machine 10 or 20 times repeatedly. Does anyone have a solution or way around this problem?

Bitten. Wasted my weekend on it.

I've been running various kernels & nvidia drivers for a long time, even switching hardware along the way, without any issue whatsoever and out of the blue i get that oops. The funniest part is i cannot get rid of it: i've tried every available kernels (from 2.6.32 up to 2.6.37) and drivers (from 195.* up to 270.*), then downgraded every remotely related packages (xorg*, libs and more), yet it still oops. It's infuriating.

As i knew my hardware & system were just fine, out of desperation, i've given a fresh ubuntu 10.10 live cd a try... booted, jockeyed and no fuss, no muss, got a working 260.19.06. Revived by such wondrous sight, i've exported its magic list of package/version and applied that (well, part of it) to my dysfunctional system. No luck, still oopsing. Noticed that now almost similar systems produced different binaries. So i went medieval and simply grafted the live-cd's module binary. Success.

Conclusion: apparently some maverick update screws the build system for that module, even if the exact reason/culprit still escapes me right now (and i have downgraded just about everything at this point...).

TL; DR: for a quick fix, use a fresh live cd to produce a sane module.

Hi tbp,

You fix worked for me, too (11.04 64bit). Then I realized that I had gold as the default linker. Before carrying out the next kernel update I put the bsd ld back as default (simple symlink rewiring), ran the update - now the nvidia modules were linked using bsd ld -, bravely rebooted into the new kernel and was greeted by a friendly gdm!

Can anyone confirm?

Axel.

YES! You cracked it! I can confirm that the problem seems to be related to the "gold" linker. Since the Maverick upgrade I had kernel oops every single time XOrg tried to start. The nvidia moduleee loadeds fine, it seems to be only when the X server loads does the OOPS occiur.

Following from what you said, I changed the ld soft link to /usr/bin/ld.bfd , reinstalled the nVidia driver, and hey presto it works!

Now, the question has to be... what is the "gold" linker doing to the nVidia source that "ld.bfd" is not?
