The package doesn't use dynroot.   So if you didn't do anything special,
you're not using dynroot...

It looks like you're having a kernel error here.  I don't know why
vmalloc() is failing.  It could be a problem with the kernel module;

a "supported" kernel, just to rule out that potential problem?
