lspci output
hello everybody,
following advice from dri-devel list I am opening a bug report here.
Starting with kernel-3.7 I am not able to boot any more in KMS: as
soon as the screen resolution changes in the very early stage of the
boot, the machine freezes and the only option I'm left with is to
press a physical reset button.
I am on an athlon64 dual core machine and using DRM/NOUVEAU with a
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU
Here are some facts:
=> while kernel-3.7.x gives the problems mentioned above,
kernel-3.6.{8-10} boots just fine (and X11 works nicely)
=> if it can be of any use: if I reboot from a running 3.6.x kernel
into a 3.7.x, the obtained freezed console screen shows the (somewhat
misplaced) lines which were printed during the shutdown phase of
the reboot process (this is similar to what reported in Description
of <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW --- - nouveau: NV4E acceleration corruption when DMA above 31-bit (2 Gig barrier)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=46557">bug#46557</a>)
=> kernel-3.7.x boots just fine on another box (another athlon64 dual core with
a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (rev a2) GPU); kernel is 32bit there,
if it can matter
I am attaching lspci output, kernel config and dmesg output w/
NOUVEAU_DEBUG_DEFAULT=6
I will be happy to send in any other information which might be useful
thank you very much in advance
ciao
gabriele</pre>
