[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia errors on 151a4

[Bryan N Iotti]

Hi Milan,

thank you for the quick answer.

I had to install 295.49 following the procedure from 
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12196

I have a new boot environment with the updated drivers and it would 
appear that the hard freezes have stopped. However, it is still 
littering my console with these two messages in repetition:

May  6 10:50:01 Wraith nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: 
nv_devmap: devmap_devmem_setup() failed (22)
May  6 10:50:01 Wraith nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: 
nv_segmap: ddi_devmap_segmap() failed (6)

Can I do anything about that?

Again, thank you, the driver update apparently solved the issue.

Bryan
