Hi,

anyone that have had to add a "vmalloc=" on the kernel command line on a
32bit install (atleast some users of nvidia proprietary drivers), can
you try to remove the "vmalloc=" part and reboot...

Does it still work after the reboot ?

And for all 32bit users that haven't had to add the vmalloc line, do you
see any problems with the kernel-2.6.38.5-0.rc1.1.mga1 (something
stopped working since the 2.6.38.4 kernel) ?

if you see any problem, does it go away if you add 

vmalloc=128M

to the kernel command line and reboot?

The reason for theese questions it that we have raised default vmalloc
to 192M in order to solve issues like
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904
and would like to know before we release Mageia 1 (or RC actually) if it
breaks something.
