iommu=soft does not help, and I don't understand why it would help theoretically when the Core 2 Duo T7400 CPU doesn't have a hardware IOMMU. The problem seems to be that the 64 MB buffer is allocated beyond 1 GB.
One theoretical good workaround would be to boot up with only 1 GB and then enable the rest of memory. But I'm not sure how to do that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821564 Title: b44 Ethernet driver null pointer during initialization To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1821564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
