By the why, I don't know why Andrew got dropped from my previous message list.
Also, I thought you were asking these questions of the fbdev and
vidiafb developers.

I guess that there is some chance that the io_remap_pfn* patches
are involved with this.

I am a tester, so I don't have knowledge about this.

Sure, it wasn't a question.  :)

Is there some way to determine exactly which
io remap kernel calls are involved in "nvidiafb: cannot ioremap FB
base" ?

I don't know.  Someone who does, please tell me.  If someone
will tell me how, I'll be happy to gather the information.

Is that in the exposed source code?

I have no idea.  How would I find out?

quoted

If so, where is that source code?

I have no clue.

Where did you get the nvidia wrapper?
Where can I find it?

Perhaps you are thinking I am using the NVidia binary driver?
This is not the case.  nvidiafb is a recently added framebuffer
driver (IIRC, first showing up in 2.6.12-rc1-mm2).  I believe
khali@linux-fr.org is the author.  I have reproduced this 
problem with both mm2 and mm3.

Do you need my .config file?

Where did you get the nvidia binary blob?

If you had my .config file, couldn't you build the driver into
the kernel, as I have?  I don't know what a driver blob is.
I haven't built the driver as a module.

Where can I get it?

Build it?

If not, can we determine from the binary which calls
are being made?

Uhhh.  I have delivered the Oops info and a bunch of other
information.  I have given you whatever I thought might be helpful.  I
need guidance here.

Sure, but the part that I really need to see is likely partially
hidden in some binary blob.  We'll see.

Blob? Well, I have some i2c built as modules.

Your humble tester (remember me from the early USB days?),

Sure I do.  :)
I'll make a patch, probably tonight Pacific time.

Great!
      Miles
