I have kernel 2.4.7 and 2.4.9, XFree86-4.0.3
Under 2.4.7, X runs perfectly, under 2.4.9, it refuses to start up, giving me a DMA allocation error. I get errors like this in my kernel log files:
i810_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Attempt to free NULL pointer i810_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Excess frees: 153 frees, 2 allocs
Absolutely no problems in 2.4.7. The only difference in kernel configs is that ftpfs is enabled in 2.4.9, but module sizes are very different in the two kernels.
Ideas?

I have run my ALI-Aladdin V board (& SiS 6326 card) , safely thru' 2.4.6 -> 2.4.9 on 4.0.3
so my guess would be.... if U haven't enabled / disabled any other options, a prob with i810 module.
what if U try replacing the module from 2.4.7 (or 2.4.8) in 2.4.9 , considering it maybe to be a bug. ( I have doubts if this would be possible though )

It is a DMA problem with the DRM module, but I am unable to isolate it. I could try using the 2.4.7 modules with 2.4.9, but given the large difference in size, I'm not sure this would work. Will try it anyway. I checked the 2.4.10pre4 Changelog, but there's no mention of any fixes for i810.
