2010-07-15 11:14:36 Michael Marley description I recently updated to the latest (2.6.35-8-generic) kernel on a Maverick system, but rebooting after the update caused Xorg not to start. I see the following messages in dmesg: [ 33.716949] Xorg:1316 conflicting memory types e0000000-e0546000 write-combining<->uncached-minus [ 33.716954] reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe0546000, track write-combining, req write-combining [ 49.853274] Xorg:1492 conflicting memory types e0000000-e0546000 write-combining<->uncached-minus [ 49.853279] reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe0546000, track write-combining, req write-combining I also see an error in Xorg.0.log: [ 49.853] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate primary buffer: out of memory.

I tried reverting to the previous kernel, but this doesn't fix the problem. That makes me think maybe some other update caused the problem, but I can't find anything that looks suspicious in dpkg.log.

WORKAROUND: Adding "nopat" to the kernel command line causes this problem to go away.
