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)
[ 48.014904] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

which is a known issue:

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).
