I have upgraded my Linux Mint system from previous kernel version 3.2.0-23 and after reboot I get error on screen may be thousands of times:

Failed to allocate:
size: 4096000 bytes
aligment: 0 bytes
domains: 2

and in dmesg is this:

So it seems to be a problem with driver for ATI in new kernel.

[marnus (marnus-mrs)]

I found that probably the same problem has Fedora 17, you can see the bug there in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785375.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[shankao (shankao)]

Is this still a problem in precise (of which Mint 13 is based from) with the latest updated kernel?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This bug is too old to support. It's been almost 10 years.
