I did not try to excract my "own" firmware but tried to use the firmware from the zip file that was attached by Jordan as we have the same card (both GTX 660). But if I boot with the nouveau.config="NvGrUseFw=1" kernel option, the kernel stops directly on the attemp to load the nouveau fb driver. I must mention that I use UEFI boot and my kernel resides on the EFI partion (/dev/sda1) at /boot/EFI/Boot/gentoo/bzImage-3.12.5.efi (the mount point is /boot). On the other hand my firmware is at /lib/firmware/nouveau/ on partition /dev/sda5, which is mounted at /. Let me guess: I need an initrd file in order to make it work? :-( Then I must figure out how to make this work together with UEFI boot. Until now, I tried to avoid initrd and UEFI.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
