I have similar symptoms with an Asus ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 card running Mageia 1
(kernel 2.6.38.8-server-10.mga).  According to modinfo, "srcversion:    
7FFBFFA368D6517B0115747".  During boot with the normal kernel, nouveau said it
detected a NVc0 card, 0ce080a1 (if I wrote it down correctly).  Then, "fb:
conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver". 
Then, the machine was locked up so hard sysrq did nothing that I could discern.
 I had to use the hardware reset button.

Using the linux-nonfb GRUB option, which I understand points to a
non-framebuffer version of the non-updated kernel/initrd, I saw a nouveau stack
trace fly by on the screen, then the same hard lockup.

Using the failsafe option, which I understand is a different non-updated
kernel/initrd, booting gets farther before locking up, and sysrq is able to
reboot the machine.

Knoppix 6.4.4 produces a stack trace from drm or nouveau, and sysrq is able to
reboot the machine--blindly if I remember correctly.

Is there documentation of whether a later (Mageia 2, perhaps) kernel would work
with this card?
