>Description:

I'm trying to get the nvidia nforce ethernet lkm working on amd64. It does
not load, crashes the kernel instead.

On investigation I found that I can not load *any* lkm.

I get a failed assertion: end < VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS
in uvm/uvm_km.c:479

with the backtrace:
uvm_km_check_empty()
uvm_map()
uvm_km_alloc()
lkmioctl()


(this is a DEBUG, DIAGNOSTIC, LOCKDEBUG kernel, and yes, I do know that the
pf.o would not have worked anyway in this kernel)
>How-To-Repeat:

On amd64 do: modload /usr/lkm/pf.o

n/a
