I am trying to run 2.6.38(x86_64) with nvidia 7200GS video card with 4GB of RAM. Although the kernel boots up, i just get a blank screen. I can ssh into the system. dmesg shows the following output :
[ 11.535703] NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid:
[ 11.535704] NVRM: BAR1 is 0M @ 0x0 (PCI:0000:01:00.0)

It seems lots of people had the same issues with some older kernels ( 2.6.27) and this apparently happens only with 4GB of RAM with nvidia. Anything less than 4GB of RAM is not a problem.
Has anyone figured this out yet.
