Maybe memory fragmentation? Perhaps the driver tries to allocate a large block of memory and cannot find a continuous block of the right size. Maybe the driver developers used different kernel .config options than you are using. Try increasing the value in /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. Try switching some things like SLAB or SLUB, try booting with kernelcore=512M to enable the Movable memory zone, or try 64-bit vs 32-bit kernels. -- Zan Lynx <zlynx@xxxxxxx>
