NVIDIA 256 driver series panics RHEL4 hugemem kernel

[simpz]

If you attempt to install the latest 256 series drivers on the RHEL4 hugemem kernel it Ooops immediately and the kernel panics
.
I put this on RH bugzilla but I guess they probably aren't too interested as it's a closed source driver. The previous 19x or 17x series are fine with it. Also the RHEL4 SMP i686 kernel is fine with the 256 series.

I know RHEL4 is kind of old now (though still supported) but I mention in case there is an issue with this new driver and PAE kernels.

This should be in the Nvidia Linux forum. That is the support forum for Nvidia's drivers.
