Description of Problem: Using tyan 2462mobo Nvidia geforce ultra and 3d drivers compiled from source: NVIDIA-1.0-3123. Everything worked up to kernel 2.4.18-10smp I used up2date to get new kernel, made the drivers and got a lock up with startx. NVdriver loads ok but #lsmod agpgart causes kernel panic crash Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel smp2.4.18-17.7.x for athlon from up2date How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use tyan 2462ung with 2.12 bios & geforece Ultra agp card 2.RH 7.3 and NVIDIA 1.0-3123 .tar.gz 3d driver source 3.Boot with kernel 2.4.18-10 mem=nopentium & no apic and make install 3d drivers, use agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 in /etc/modules.conf -- successfully use 3d! 4. Use up2date to get smp2.4.18-17.7.x 5. Boot to new kernel, Go to Nvidia directories for kernel and glx component and #make install -- everything makes fine. 6. startx and system crashes -- hard lock up! 7. reboot and try insmod NVdriver -- ok insmod agpgart--->kernel panic crash! Actual Results: crash. hard lockup. Expected Results: KDE desktop with 3D for Unreal Tounament or TuxRacer Additional Information:

Are you sure this is a duplicate of 73733? My kernel panics when agpgart module is insmoded, not NVdriver! I think there may be an agp issue with the popular Tyan Thunder K7 board. I do understand NVIDIA does not provide open source drivers.
Then load agpgart without the nvidia module ever having loaded and send me an oops ;) oh and please don't use mem=nopentium that's total bullshit (and probably broken) and the thing that it is supposed to fix is already fixed in the RH kernels.
I rebooted without mem=nopentium and it works! I can load NVdriver and agpgart in any order or just startx and all is well. Note I had the mem=nopentium option in my grub.conf and up2date was smart enough to use the same options for the new kernel. You guys do good work! I should've trusted your kernel w/o the mem option. Too bad I can't find 3D support for an ATI Radeon 9000 pro.
