Notes

  • *Problem with allocation of vmalloc space. System is crashing after about 10min of start. In /var/log/messages you can find:

allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size

Userful link: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-04/0746.html

Run the following only if you'd experienced system freeze after couple of minutes after start!!

# Edit kernel start-up options. Open grub file:

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

# Append at the end of line with your current kernel "vmalloc=512M". In my case it was:

# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=3f876497-95c0-4be7-8a28-6ff57e08589b ro quiet splash vmalloc=512M

# Open new line after the one you have edited in point2 and put:

# uppermem 524288

# To confirm that those changes took affect run in terminal before and after this change:

cat /proc/cmdline

cat /proc/meminfo |grep Vma
  • ** In case the microphone doesn't work don't forget to change "Input Source" to "Front Mic" in the sound applet.
