[Bug 341952] [NEW] system freeze/crash in jaunty (maybe related to "vmap allocation failed" error message)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by gene (eumospan):

After upgrading to jaunty I started experiencing frequent system/x server freezes.
Happens all of a sudden with X session completely frozen with no keys working, including SysRq. Hard reboot is necessary.
It is hard to tell what is the reason.  Tried to examine the logs - doesn't give me a clue.
There are a number of suspicious entries in the /var/log/dmesg* though
All of them except for the current and the oldest ones are all ENDING with this:

  vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.

Like:

~$ zgrep 'vmap' /var/log/dmesg* -A5
/var/log/dmesg.0:[   35.911114] vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
/var/log/dmesg.1.gz:[   31.707600] vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
/var/log/dmesg.2.gz:[   38.358206] vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
/var/log/dmesg.3.gz:[   91.715889] vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.

Also I can recall that my memory icon in the gnome-system-monitor was
filled (light and dark green ) at the time of crashes.

uname -a
Linux jenshen 2.6.28-8-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 5 21:49:36 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

I will also attach some files like dmesg, and logs if needed

Thanks in advance
